Canada post is sending new proposals after the ban on flyer delivery
Canada Post says that it will move forward in an attempt to send a new proposal to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW).
The Crown Corporation said that new conditions will allow both sides to return to the bargaining table next week, to do so.
The step was banned by the union after the union represented 55,000 postal staff, as the Sangh urged the Canada Post back to negotiate.
CBC News has reached Cupw for a response.
In early August, the members of the Sangh voted that what the Canada Post said was its final proposal. The Sangh pushed forward its latest counter-proposal on 20 August, which Canada Post stated that the postal service adds significant new costs and restrictions at a challenging time.
The Canada Post said it asked the Sangh to come back with a more working solution, but since it has not happened, it decided to present new global proposals with the expectation that both sides could find common land on important issues such as weekend distribution.
On Friday, the National President of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Jan Simpson urged to resume the conversation with the Canada Post and contact him with ‘Serialismable’. Simpson says that the Sangh is preparing to move the strategy, with a plan to lift an overtime ban and prevent commercial flights.
Pressure on the holiday season approach
The pressure to reach a deal is increasing as significant holiday approaches.
A strike and lockout lasted for more than a month in November and December last year, the then Labor Minister Steven McCinone ended only after declaring a deadlock in the talks and asked the Canadian Industrial Relations Board to end the work stoppage.
Cupw President Jan Simpson said last Friday that the union shifted the overtime ban to address the objections to the Canada post from the flyer ban from the overtime ban to impress how it was affecting operations.
He said that the target is to make a deal before Christmas, but if the Canada post “Stall continues to stall, the postal staff will have no option but to consider strong tasks to carry forward the conversation.”
The Canada Post said that it has asked the Sangh to distribute the passengers who are currently stuck in their network before the restart of talks. It said that the ban on flyer delivery is affecting many customers, including community newspapers, small businesses and donations.
The two sides have been in contract talks for almost two years on issues such as wages and part -time workers at a time that the postal service meets significant financial deficit.
