In the case of a strike Direct mail printers take the biggest hit.
 The recent CUPW vote rejecting Canada Post’s final offer has extended uncertainty across Canada’s postal network, harming the economy at a time when national unity and cooperation are critical. A stable, efficient postal service is vital to Canada’s economic health.The Canadian Printing Industries Association urges the Government to act decisively to stabilize negotiations, ensure service continuity, and implement reforms from the Industrial Inquiry Commission’s (IIC) 2025 report.
 
The CPIA is ready to support with data, communications, and advocacy. We call on the Canadian Government to pursue the following 8 actions: 1) Intensive Mediation & Timelines Mediate CPC and CUPW on a fixed 10–14 day schedule. 2) Service Continuity Planning Direct CPC to publish weekly peak- season operational updates including rural/remote contingency measures.3) Public Confidence Communication Explain the vote outcome and next steps to all Canadians and reassure households and businesses of government action. 4) Lift Moratoriums End blanket bans on rural post-office closures and community mailbox conversions, while ensuring minimum- access standards.5) Flexible Delivery Models Negotiate part-time, weekend, and dynamic- routing roles to grow parcels. 6) Require a Viability Plan Tie the $1.034B solvency facility to measurable KPIs in parcel growth, service performance, and cost control. 7) Modernize Pricing Authority Enable more timely letter-rate adjustments to reflect actual costs. 8) Structural Reform Plan The CPIA urges the federal government to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act to modernize Canada Post’s Charter, ensuring it reflects the changing needs of Canadian businesses, residents, and rural communities.
