Canada Post union says latest contract offer is step backwards
By Canadian Press on October 4, 2025.
The union representing Canada Post workers says the Crown corporation is taking a major step backwards with its latest contract offers.
In a statement released Friday, the union says it is disappointed with an offer that includes less than one it rejected in August.
Canada Post tabled an offer Friday that included many terms from its previous “final offers” in May, but removed a signing bonus and added provisions related to expected job cuts.
The federal government announced plans last week to transform Canada Post, including ending daily mail delivery, closing some rural post offices and moving most homes to community mailboxes.
Canada Post supported the move, and said the latest offer reflects the changes, which will likely lead to a reduced workforce.
The union declared a countrywide strike after the changes were announced.
It said Friday it will take time to review more than 500 pages of each of the latest offers.

Reality is that you ran the postal service into bankruptcy! It is no longer viable and you think you can force the taxpayer into paying $1 billion per year so you can keep your jobs, but not be willing to compromise so that Canada Post can become viable.
Don’t blame anyone but yourselves and your union! You pigs at the trough that have created so much uncertainly for those who depend on the service will now learn the hard way! Being bullies no longer works!
Enjoy being unemployed! Maybe after a year you may realize how you should have been thankful just having a job! No compassion here for you bums!
A little harsh maybe, but I agree with the message . When cars replaced horses as primary transportation , an entire industry that supported horses , livery stables , farriers , etc had to adapt to the new reality.
Imagine , when the Model A was the new reality , if the livery stable workers union was demanding the moon and stars? Well, good luck .
If your employer, Canada Post, were a private company, you all would ahve been fired ages ago. Losing $10 million dollars a day anf you guys want more, more, more. Canadian taxpayers have had enough of supporting your careers. Time to hit the road, and in a different way then delivering mail, if you know what I mean.
