Canada Post presents new offer to CUPW

On Friday, Canada Post presented a new offer to CUPW.

The company says the offer will enable the company's modernization while balancing its financial realities with fairness and respect for employees.

The Government of Canada recently announced 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.

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, including industry-leading defined benefit pension, health benefits and post-retirement benefits, vacation and pre-retirement leave, and a 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.

On September 25, 2025, the Government of Canada directed Canada Post to introduce flexibility in delivery standards and frequency, expand the use of community mailboxes, and develop a plan to protect service in rural, remote, northern and Indigenous communities after the lifting of the rural moratorium. After these measures were announced, employees walked off the job.
