Canada Warns of prolong in carrier after union go for submit time beyond regulation ban

The union, representing about 55,000 Canada Post employees, has called for a nationwide stop to work overtime, described it as “legal strike action” and will continue to review the latest contract proposals from its negotiating mail carrier.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said late Thursday that the members were being asked to refuse more than 40 hours a day and more than 40 hours a week.

The Canada Post released its statement on Friday morning in response to the overtime ban, stating that there are no rotating strikes or national work stops, and postal operations will continue. However, the Crown Corporation warned of a possible delay.

The latest Salvo in a long -running labor dispute came with the Cupw set to be in the midnight as midnight.

It comes even after an evening meeting between the two sides which failed to lead for a deal.

“The meeting lasted for less than half an hour for less than half an hour, in which Cupw informally raised only small number of outstanding issues,” Canadian post spokesman Lisa Liu said in a statement. “It was unfortunately not enough to demonstrate meaningful progress.”

Liu stated that the Canada Post asked the union to return, “with urgency, with the response to the proposals submitted by the company in the week.

The Sangh had said that the proposals “decrease”, as the workers are demanding an increase of 19 percent wages after years of inflation.

Part -time weekend work has proved one of the largest glued points in talks.

Under recent collective agreements, the mail carrier should be paid additional for changes on Saturday and Sunday, which are relatively rare. The Canada Post pushed to a duct of part -time workers, which was deployed on the weekend and during the peak period in response to the growing parcel demand during the extreme period, instead of paying wages to full -time employees at overtime rates.

The Sangh said on Wednesday that the management wanted to increase the number of part -time positions in urban areas by 20 percent, claiming that some employees would “be forced to stay for 30 hours per week.”

Last week, a federal commission report proposed a part-timer among a chef of strict reforms. Calling the Canada Post as effective “bankruptcy”, it suggested a package delivery as well as a axis to the closure of the rural post office and a more community mailboxes, the overhaul that would launch a permanent postponement on both and will also go beyond the scope of collective bargaining.

The 162-hit paper by the mediated William Coupon noted the flaging business model of the Canada Post. Saying that the company faces a “existent crisis”, he recommended the ending of daily door-to-door letter mail delivery for individual homes, maintaining it for businesses.

The couple also proposed dynamic routing and part -time positions with compensation compared to full -time positions. They argued against the possibility of “gigified jobs”, freelance often has no ups and downs in payment rates.

On Wednesday, Canada Post rejected the union’s call Two weeks “Trus” This would have given workers time to review the latest proposals in detail.

The Sangh said that with the overtime ban, “decided to reduce the disruption to the public and reduce the members of the members.”

“Additional action may be in future,” the Sangh said.

If workers were to hit picket lines, it would prevent about 8.5 million letters and 1.1 million parcel delivery based on 2023 figures.

The disruption will deepen the company’s growing financial hole. It gave a $ 3.8 billion from $ 3.8 billion since 2018, $ 803 million in the first nine months of 2024.

The organization received $ 1.03 billion federal loan in January.

It will also be a second work stop in about six months.

Last year, a strike affected millions of residents, shippers and e-commerce retailers.

Overall, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, there was an estimated $ 1.6 billion for small businesses.
