Canada Post workers rejected ‘final’ contract offers. What happens next?

Labour experts say another postal service strike is unlikely after unionized Canada Post workers rejected their employer’s latest round of offers in a forced vote and the parties mull their next steps.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said Friday that the roughly 55,000 members represented by the union shot down the Canada Post’s latest proposal, with almost 70% voting against the deal.

Canada Post said that it was “disappointed” in the vote results and that it was weighing its next steps while CUPW said in a bulletin to members last week that its negotiators are ready to head back to the bargaining table.

Larry Savage, professor in the department of labour studies at Brock University says "there is a storm brewing for both Canada Post’s management and the union. And I think that getting over this hump is important, but I think that it pales in comparison to what’s coming”, referring to possible restructuring of Canada Post’s mandate including further expansion of community mailboxes or an end to daily door-to-door delivery.
