By Rosalind Russell – The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has informed Canada Post that its members have voted to accept the tentative agreements for the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units.
Canada Post President and CEO Doug Ettinger says the parties will soon sign the new collective agreements, which will remain in place until January 31, 2029.
He adds that with the stability of new agreements in place, they look forward to working with the employees and bargaining agents to rebuild the business, restore confidence in the postal system and better serve the country.
The corporation suffered the highest loss in its history, over $1.57 billion in 2025.
He adds while the process was challenging, these negotiated agreements recognize that Canada Post needs to change, so they can provide affordable weekend parcel delivery and make needed adjustments to the retail network while continuing to provide good-paying jobs across the country.
The company’s $205-million loss before tax in the first quarter deteriorated by $164 million compared to a loss before tax of $41 million in the first quarter of the prior year.
Revenue fell by $181 million, or 14.3 per cent, in the first quarter compared to the same period of 2025.
