Recent media reports suggest the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is nearing an agreement with Canada Post that could impose major cuts on jobs and working conditions. Bargaining resumed on Monday, November 3, with CUPW issuing a statement praising the help of a government-appointed mediator. The union leadership expressed its readiness to "overcome the disagreements between the parties" and to "secure ratifiable collective agreements at the bargaining table."
In another statement, the union appealed to the pro-corporate Liberal government—already backing plans to cut two-thirds of Canada Post’s 55,000-strong workforce—to "ensure that any decisions… are made… with Union input."
