Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers reach tentative agreements

Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have reached tentative agreements.

After reaching agreements in principle in November 2025, the parties have finalized contractual language for new collective agreements. The tentative agreements include higher wage increases, enhanced benefits and a weekend parcel delivery model.

There will be no changes to employees’ Defined Benefit pension, enhanced job protection, and in rural areas, employees will move to an hourly rate of pay.

There will be an adjustment to the number of corporate post offices protected in the collective agreement to 393 in urban areas.

Both agreements are for five years and would be in effect until January 31, 2029.

The agreement still has to be ratified by the members. During the ratification process, the parties have agreed not to engage in any strike or lockout activity.
