 Canada Post has presented new global offers to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. The offers enable the company’s modernization while balancing its financial realities with fairness and respect for employees. The Government of Canada recently announced important measures to help renew and restore the postal service so that it aligns with the needs of the country, returns to financial sustainability and avoids taxpayer-funded government bailouts.
Canada Post has been trying to increase direct mail and parcel delivery.  Postal strikes have decreased volumes.

The offers for the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units contain proposals to help support this transformation while minimizing the impact on staff. Canada Post’s critical financial situation has also worsened in the last year as CUPW’s strike action, including two national strikes, have shut down the postal system for customers. The offers maintain key provisions for employees that were in the Corporation’s best and final offers presented on May 28, 2025. These proposals include compounded wage increases of 13.59% over four years, while protecting what employees value most: Industry-leading defined benefit pension,Health benefits and post-retirement benefits. Vacation (up to seven weeks) and pre-retirement leave. Cost of living allowance that protects against the effects of unforeseen inflation. Due to the company’s deteriorating financial situation, a signing bonus for employees is no longer on the table. Canada Post’s new offers are within the limit of what the Corporation can afford while maintaining good jobs and benefits for employees over the long-term. Canada Post Press Release
