Canada Post 'surprised' by latest CUPW strike comments
Canada Post workers have been on the picket lines now for 25 days. Calls for government intervention have grown, but the government has yet to step in, despite intervening in other recent labour disputes. Canada Post said yesterday that it's waiting for a formal response from CUPW to the proposal it submitted to the union on Friday night as they work to close the gap on key issues that the two sides face. Some issues include a focus on weekend delivery, pensions and wages to help get people back to work. The union said it's reviewing what Canada Post put forward and questioned when the mediation process will officially resume. The union also reaffirmed its commitment to returning to the bargaining table. Federal mediation was paused nearly two weeks ago, as the sides remain far apart. The local union president says workers are focused on volunteering to help the community including helping get letters to Santa, a food drive and collecting clothes for those experiencing homelessness.
