Despite intense negotiations over the past 72 hours, Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have not been able to reach an agreement and talks between the two have broken off. Every effort has been made to reach a negotiated settlement that is in the best interests of employees, customers and the company.

Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) remain divided on a number of key bargaining issues—including wages, pension and sick leave. Canada Post Chief Executive Officer Deepak Chopra met with Denis Lemelin, President of CUPW, but the meeting failed to bring the two sides any closer to a resolution on the fundamental challenges facing Canada Post.

Despite the ongoing labour disruption, Canada Post wants to reassure our customers that socio-economic cheques will be delivered. An agreement was reached with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) in March 2011 to ensure delivery of more than two million cheques nationally on June 20^th.

Post Chief Executive Officer Deepak Chopra and Chief Operating Officer Jacques Côté have a message for all employees of Canada Post.

Ottawa (Ont.) – Canada Post Chief Executive Officer Deepak Chopra is prepared to again meet with Denis Lemelin, President of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), to discuss the fair offer that has been tabled by the company. Mr. Chopra expects that Mr. Lemelin will come to the meeting with a meaningful offer that addresses declining mail volumes, competitiveness, and a $3.2-billion solvency deficit in the pension plan.

Financial losses are mounting at Canada Post as the rotating strike being carried out by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) enters its 12th day. Canada Post estimates that it has lost over $70 million in revenue – and that figure is climbing daily. Exacerbating the problems is the fact that Canada Post is continuing to incur a significant wage bill for 48,000 members of CUPW while their union inflicts massive losses on the company through costly rotating strikes.

The uncertainty caused by eight months of labour negotiations and 11 days of strike activities by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is damaging the postal system. This will only end when a new collective agreement is reached.

At Canada Post, we believe the union’s strike activity should stop, but accepting their demand to revert back to the old collective agreement in order to make that happen is completely unacceptable.

Canada Post and CUPW remain far apart on several fundamental issues. The union today rejected major compromises proposed by Canada Post to address sick leave and staffing levels. CUPW also refuses to discuss any initiatives that will reduce costs and address the problems of declining mail volumes, increasing competition and electronic substitutions of traditional mail. After almost a week, the union has again rejected Canada Post’s generous offer.

Due to a significant drop in mail volume Canada Post is forced to immediately reduce costs by making adjustments to delivery schedules.  With rotating strikes continuing across the country, Canada Post must act now to avoid significant losses that will harm the company’s financial self-sustainability.

Mail volumes at Canada Post have fallen as much as 50 per cent since the union started rotating strikes on June 3^rd. This decline in volume comes at a time when the company is already struggling to address significant business challenges.

After careful consideration, Canada Post has again turned down an offer put forward by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) as part of the collective bargaining process.

In an effort to avert a damaging work disruption and reach a negotiated settlement to this round of labour negotiations, Canada Post has offered further compromises and improvements to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).

Deepak Chopra, President and Chief Executive Officer of Canada Post, is meeting with CUPW President Denis Lemelin today in an attempt to find common ground that would avoid a disruption of mail service. Canada Post remains available 24/7 to meet with CUPW and bring these negotiations to a successful conclusion.

Canada Post employees have a special relationship with Canadians and understand better than most how much they depend on mail service and how a work disruption will adversely impact them.

Canada Post remains committed to reaching a negotiated settlement that will protect postal service, minimize future postal rate increases and improve the wages of our employees. This commitment remains despite the fact that the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has served notice that it intends to take 45,000 employees out on strike as early as 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 2, 2011.

The union is prepared to shut down Canada’s postal system even though the company has proposed a deal that gives employees better pay and benefits than they currently enjoy. The latest counter offer from the union does nothing to address the significant challenges facing the company.

Canada Post’s negotiation team expressed disappointment after reviewing an offer put forward by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) as part of the collective bargaining process.

Canada Post today issued a stamp to commemorate the 100^th anniversary of Parks Canada, the world’s first national parks service.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has announced the results of their national strike vote.
