With strike mandate set to expire August 25, the union is setting the stage to issue 72-hour strike notice

Following nine months of negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), it is clear that talks have reached an impasse. The postal service must adapt to its new reality as Canadians lead increasingly digital lives. The union has unfortunately shown no interest in addressing the fundamental issues that threaten the long-term future of the postal service. They are now focused on prolonging their strike mandate and the uncertainty it continues to cause for employees and Canadians.
