Canada Post tables new offers to striking postal workers


By Canadian Press on October 3, 2025.

OTTAWA — Canada Post says it has sent new offers to striking postal workers.

The offer includes the same 13.59 per cent compounded wage increase over four years that it presented as part of its final offer in May to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

It says that due to the Crown corporation’s worsening financial situation, it can no longer offer a signing bonus.

Canada Post says the new proposal includes terms to help support the transformation of the postal service that the federal government has initiated.

Workers went on strike last week after the government announced the changes including ending daily mail delivery, closing some rural post offices and moving almost all Canadian households to community mailboxes — moves the union calls a direct attack on workers.

CUPW has said it will carefully review and analyze the offers to determine whether they address the needs of postal workers, their families, and the public who rely on the service.

Say What . . .

Why would we want to have such an undependable, unreliable government propped up organization that is losing over $1 billion per year, with an estimated $1.5 billion for 2025 and workers who believe that they can hold out for anything they demand, because the union has told them the taxpayers will not allow Canada Post to fall and will support it?
We already suffering from multiple impacts, the tariffs being the latest and this is just like kicking us while we are down for their own greedy little sense of entitlement!
Fire them all and let a reliable company take over who will not disrespect the consumer! Their signs say it is “Our Canada Post”! No it is the consumers and taxpayers Canada Post. You appear to believe it is your kingdom and we are the peons who have to pay you!
You’re Fired!
