Canada Post update on the current labour negotiations with CUPW. While we are all hopeful that an agreement will be reached, there is a possibility that a labour disruption may occur.
- A formal conciliation period ended at midnight on Friday, June 10. A 21-day “cooling-off” period began immediately thereafter.
- There can be no legal work disruption until July 2, 2016 at the earliest. And the parties must provide a 72-hour notice before a work disruption can occur.
- Our goal remains to reach negotiated collective agreements, but we acknowledge that a work disruption is possible.
- While there is still time to reach new agreements, customers should take precautions as a labour disruption remains a possibility.
- We are providing customers with as much information as possible in advance of a possible disruption to allow them to make the right decisions for their business.
- Canada Post will not operate in the event of a full labour disruption. Mail and parcels will not be delivered and no new items will be accepted.
- Mail and parcels that are in the postal system would be secured for the duration of a disruption, and will be delivered as quickly as possible when we resume operations.
- Canada Post offers a range of services with varying delivery speeds.
- Customers are encouraged to send items on or before the dates below to ensure delivery prior to a possible service disruption.
- There is a possibility that items sent after these dates could be held in the postal system should there be a disruption.
