Canada carry and the unification representing thousands of get off carriers crossways the rural area say the parties have reached agreements in principle after two years of contentious bargaining.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) said Friday that it has "reached agreements in principle" with the Crown corporation.
"This means both sides have agreed on the main points of the deals, but we need to agree on the contractual language that will form the collective agreements that would be put to a vote by the members," the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) said in a statement.
"Upon signing the agreements, the Union agrees to pause its strike action, and the Employer agrees to suspend its right to lockout. The Union will retain the right to strike until new agreements are ratified."
Canada Post confirmed that the parties have reached a tentative agreement, pending a union vote.
"While this is being done, it has been agreed that all strike or lockout activities are suspended," the agency said.
CUPW launched a nationwide strike in late September after the federal government announced sweeping changes to the Crown corporation, including authorizing it to end home delivery for the four million addresses that still receive it.
The government’s plan also includes lifting a moratorium on closing rural post offices, which covers almost 4,000 locations.
