Contract talks with Canada Post stalled as CUPW’s strike mandate runs out
OTTAWA — As the clock ticks down on the Canadian Union of Postal Workers’ strike mandate, contract talks with Canada Post are going nowhere fast.
Each side blames the other for the stalled negotiations.
The union fears the Crown corporation is trying to run out the clock on the union’s strike mandate, which expires Aug. 25.
But Canada Post says the union is insisting on $1 billion worth of demands that are simply not affordable.
