According to a statement on Wednesday, Canada Post employees voted on representing the Canadian Post Workers’ Union on the proposals of a multi -year government -owned company from 21 to 1 August.
According to Canada Post, more than 53,000 employees are able to vote on the proposal to apply to their own bargaining unit. One contract proposal encompasses urban workers, and the other carries rural and suburban post letters.
The contracts demand 13.59 % of wages over four years for employees, dynamic routing soft launch, introduction of weekend workers, and other changes. The union stands to some extent against offers because they do not diminish its 19 percent payment goal.
“If the majority of voters at that unit accept their proposal, the new collective agreement will be for that unit and the resolution of this long round will bring negotiations,” the Canada Post said.
Voting on the “final offers” of the Airlines by the Canadian Industrial Relations Board is ordered by Patty Hajjado, the Minister of Business and Families of the country. Canada did not say in its declaration when the voting results were revealed.
Carrier and Cupw have been negotiating for 19 months, a period in which the Union has begun the peak strike and overtime ban, which is still active today. Transportation has changed volume to other options such as FedEx and UPS to limit possible delays.
“Customers, using other delivery companies, prevent uncertainty in the Canadian post and reduce the volume significantly and reduce financial losses to spike,” the transport company said. “In June, Canada has increased to approximately $ 10 million per day – more than twice the average daily losses in June 2024.”
The majority yes for both contract offerings can provide assurance for shipping, but Canada’s offers are receiving CUPW pressure. The union does not encourage its members to vote because wages, weekend delivery operations, and more.
“Canada’s proposals are reduced far less than what post -workers have acquired and deserve it,” said Carl Jermevard, a National Cupw Complaint Officer. “They ignore the facts we face in the classroom, failing to address our key demands, and trying to eliminate hard and winning support.”
If members of the union reject the deal, the National President John Simpson said on Tuesday that CUPW would maintain its overtime ban but refuses to implement any strike.
“CUPW negotiating committees are ready to return to the bargaining table and negotiate on collective agreements,” Simpson said.
