• Canada Post says it and the union are taking part in hearings by the country's labour board on whether the two sides have reached an impasse.

The article from CTV News discusses the ongoing labor dispute between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). Both parties presented their cases at the Canada Industrial Relations Board hearings in Ottawa. Canada Post argued that the union's demands for better working conditions, job security, and wage increases are financially unsustainable, potentially leading to increased postage rates and reduced service quality. Conversely, CUPW emphasized the need for improved health and safety measures, better pay, and more full-time positions, highlighting the workers' essential role during the recent health crisis and the need for recognition and fair compensation. The hearings are part of a broader effort to resolve the dispute without resorting to a strike, as the current collective agreement expired in January 2023.
