OTTAWA – The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says its plan to begin a rolling overtime ban at midnight Sunday has been placed on hold for 24 hours.
CUPW issued a statement late Sunday night that it was delaying any possible job action in a “last ditch effort” to reach a negotiated settlement with Canada Post.
A federally appointed mediator began meeting with the two sides on Friday to try to reach a deal.
Canada Post spokesman Jon Hamilton issued a statement Sunday night saying the post office agreed to extend the talks for 24 hours at the mediator’s request.
