"The agreements announced Monday cover both the Urban Postal Operations and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers bargaining units. CUPW's national board recommends members accept the deals during ratification votes set to be held in early 2026. Canada Post said the deals include a 6.5 per cent wage increase in the first year, followed by a three per cent hike in the second year and increases matching the annual inflation rate in Years 3 through 5."
"They also include enhanced benefits and a weekend parcel delivery model. Both agreements would be in effect until Jan. 31, 2029. The Monday announcement comes after Canada Post and CUPW announced a deal in principle in November. While the union retained the right to strike at that time, the union and the Crown corporation now say they've agreed strike or lockout action will not take place during the ratification process."
