Canada Post workers have been on the picket lines now for 25 days. Calls for government intervention have grown, but the government has yet to step in, despite intervening in other recent labour disputes.
Canada Post said yesterday that it’s waiting for a formal response from CUPW to the proposal it submitted to the union on Friday night as they work to close the gap on key issues that the two sides face.
Some issues include a focus on weekend delivery, pensions and wages to help get people back to work.
The union said it’s reviewing what Canada Post put forward and questioned when the mediation process will officially resume. The union also reaffirmed its commitment to returning to the bargaining table.
Federal mediation was paused nearly two weeks ago, as the sides remain far apart.
The local union president says workers are focused on volunteering to help the community including helping get letters to Santa, a food drive and collecting clothes for those experiencing homelessness.

Looks like these journalists are working as a paid agent of Canada post workers. People hate them now
Blame the Union busters, not the unions. Cleaning staff and call center employees deserve to be in the union too!
Why not have their tantrum strike in the summer time instead of right now when some people are expecting things throughout the Christmas holidays. Ruining it for everyone else. I’m appalled by this greed!! You chose to be a postal worker like everyone else who choose their job career etc.. Some of us will not make $55,000 a year and be thankful for what we have. All of Canada are struggling to survive but this is simply horrendous!!
Will because of this strike more small business will just stop using Canada post they will
Lose more business . They already make more than over minimum wage they have benefits and everything and pensions. They are just digging themselves into a grave. Everyone wants more money the cost of life is going up you don’t see people striking you don’t like your job find a job that will give you more …….. stop begging it don’t take a college degree to deliver mail they are asking money that someone that has a college education gets unions should not have this much power . Fire everyone and re-hire them on a lower pay 😅😅😅😅. No one is honking to support them
They are honking some other word and we all know what that word is 😅😅😅. Way do they have 24 vice presidents 😅 that’s way they have no money
This tyrant goverment is anti union , unions are more important than ever
I need my mails this is ridiculous!
why canada post does not hire someone to do those worker's job during the strike? hire new employee to replace them so that it can delay the negation forever?
Boycott Canada Post
More power to Canada Post drivers for pushing back against slavery. It a lost battle though because no one wants to abolish slavery in Canada. But at least u guys showed some courage. ❤
Canada Post is just as irrelevant & useless as print newspapers (Postmedia) & the horse buggy.
The horn honking is striker coming back from McDonalds. They want $6.20 cent an hour raise which is $12,698 a year raise. THEY ARE INSANE
We don’t support you cp
How much does the CEO of Canada Post make? Let’s start there.
We don’t need this post company
Few years back postal workers could afford to raise a family in a modest house and car on their own. Now?? They can afford to be a roomate in a 4 person household and can't even buy a beater of car. They deserve better pay and benefit. Government shouldn't treat them as cheap labour after they serve the Royal Corpoation 5, 10, 20..+ years… this is really un-Canada.☹😌
Canada post workers should be thankful they still have a moldy piece of bread left, on the passenger seat of their forever home.
They need to get back to work, this is why unions are ridiculous in my opinion. And if you want to strike then take off the "Canada Post Jackets" and use your own. I think they all need to be laid off or let go and hire people who really want a job.
For them to strike at the busiest time of year for people and businesses, thinking that it would force the union's hand to cave in to their ridiculous demands makes me so mad for all the people who had their holiday and businesses ruined.
Shame on the Canada Post workers!! You are the true grinches this Christmas!
The percentage they want is unrealistic. Ugh …I wish 11 percent over the next few years…
About 4 percent was the sad amount over the next few years for a job that keeps people safe, and supports them to live a fufiling life…4 percent !!!
i hope they fire everyone and amazon, fedex, or ups take over….
They've already ruined Christmas, great job striking at Christmas…
Okay it s time for another business to take place, and that can serve local business with fair prices. If canada post can't deliver they need to hand these contracts to someone else
Media does not show the extended fists and fingers with those honking Canadians. Canada is getting angry. The country is a keg, just waiting to go off. Never in my life did I ever think this country would become so polarized and divided.
Hear me out…when Canada post goes back to work should we hold all Canada post delivery vehicles hostage so we can demand a raises from my our employers?
I’d love a raise, and if we hold Canada post vehicles hostage then our employers can’t get or send their mail. Maybe I’ll get my 24% raise then! 😮
Like this post if it’s a good plan! Canada post workers you better support us otherwise that’s mean!
IF YOU DONT LIKE YOUR JOB QUIT. that mafia corrupt union
Greed
I will never send anything through canada post again and it would be awesome if this strike was the last thing they did as a union… McDonald's is hiring!!!
Im smelling a rat here .There's more to this tha is being revealed .Everything the government is involved in is corrupted .
I would love that job, i dont have a job. Try 15/hr.
She's beautiful
There is how it will end : collective law suit against the union by the citizens. Once a CP stamp is on an envelope, it becomes a federal document.
CP didn't plan people wouldn't care about their strike with a full belly.. now they know!
Please ask NDP Jagmeet Singh to vote non-confidence for the postal workers because he said so.
