Jobs minister presses Canada Post, workers to reach a deal
By Canadian Press on June 4, 2025.
Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu is calling on Canada Post and its union to return to the bargaining table to hash out terms for binding arbitration.
In a social media statement Wednesday, the minister also asked the Crown corporation and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers to continue to work toward a deal outside of that process.
She says arbitration is not the preferred path, but suggested the stage would be set for an imposed settlement if the two sides could not find common ground themselves.
The minister says Canadians expect the parties to resolve the impasse and that federal mediators are standing by to help.
On Friday, Canada Post asked Hajdu to force a union vote on its “final offers,” while the union requested binding arbitration, which the employer rejected.
After a month-long strike last fall, the union has again been in a legal strike position since May 23, but has instead opted to ban members from working overtime while negotiations continued.

Time to dissolve Canada Post and allow private sector to take over! These union pigs at the trough continue to beat up and disrespect Canadians by continually demanding more, while believing we will pickup the tab for the continual losses which to date, Canada Post’s total debt is currently around $1 billion, with $500 million due for repayment in July 2025.
They are close to bankruptcy and the pigs at the trough keep asking for more!
Fire them all and let them find jobs at McDonalds! Sell off all the assets, pay the debt down and move on, allowing companies who will not hold us hostage all the time, and will not kill small business because of no service to get their products to customers!
They are no longer a company one can depend on!
