TORONTO, Aug. 1, 2025 /CNW/ – It’s extremely disappointing that the members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have rejected Canada Post’s final offer.
This just brings more uncertainty at a time when small businesses are already struggling to plan ahead. We can’t keep doing this. If there’s another strike, two in three businesses may walk away from Canada Post permanently.
We’re calling on government to prevent another strike from happening by extending the current collective bargaining agreement for the foreseeable future. Government also needs to immediately give Canada Post the full authority to make the major reforms needed to ensure it is financially sustainable. This will likely require tough decisions, including back-to-work legislation orders. CFIB is calling on all political parties to support the reforms suggested in the Industrial Inquiry report to allow this important service to continue for the long term.
