As negotiations continue between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), the 21-day cooling-off period ended November 2. This means either party could initiate a labor disruption after providing a minimum notice of 72 hours.

The parties remain at the table and have agreed not to provide a 72-hour notice as long as discussions are productive. The goal throughout these negotiations with CUPW has always been to reach negotiated agreements, without any labor disruption.

Operations continue as usual

Regular business operations continue. Going forward, it would be at least three days (minimum 72 hours) after a notice is received before any labor disruption could begin.
