Canada Post has reached a new collective agreement with the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA), representing 8,500 mostly rural post office employees. The deal, achieved after 18 months of negotiations and arbitration, includes an 11% wage increase over three years, retroactive to January 2024. Talks with the largest union, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), remain unresolved, with a final offer pending a vote. CUPW members previously staged a 32-day strike before a government back-to-work order.
