Earlier today, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) filed for conciliation with the Government of Canada as part of ongoing negotiations aimed at reaching a new labour agreement. Collective bargaining between Canada Post and CUPW began on October 21, 2010.

Canada Post welcomes the assistance of a conciliator in our discussions with CUPW, and is optimistic it will help us reach a negotiated settlement. A conciliator meets with both parties, listens to their positions, and helps them work through issues at the bargaining table and find common ground. This process has proven successful in past rounds of labour negotiations. The terms and conditions of the current collective agreement will remain in place throughout conciliation.

Canada Post and its employees across the country have a proud history of serving every Canadian. Mail service will continue as normal while the current conciliation process runs its course and the parties keep working to obtain an agreement.
