Canada carry and the canadian river unification of Postal Workers (CUPW) say they feature reached tentative agreements.
The agreements proclaimed 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 says the tentative agreements include higher wage increases, enhanced benefits and a weekend parcel delivery model. Both agreements would be in effect until Jan. 31, 2029.
"These outcomes reflect the strength and solidarity of postal workers," CUPW national president Jan Simpson said.
"In the face of extraordinary challenges, we stood together, secured meaningful improvements and pushed back on significant rollbacks."
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.
The parties have also "finalized contractual language" for the new collective agreement, according to Canada Post, as part of this next step.
More to come.
