A new labor contract for Canada Post employees remains distant after 18 months of negotiations, with the union yet to respond to the company’s “final offers.” Talks have stalled despite government mediation efforts, and both sides are at odds over arbitration terms and key contract issues such as pay and weekend delivery. An overtime ban by postal workers continues, and many shippers have shifted to other carriers amid ongoing uncertainty.
