Labour minister asks Canada Industrial Relations Board to step into Canada Post labour dispute
CBC
Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon is sending the labour dispute between Canada Post and and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) to the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
MacKinnon said Friday that if the board determines negotiations between the parties are at an impasse, it has been directed to order striking CUPW members back to work under the existing collective agreement until May 22, 2025.
"Canadians are rightly fed up," with the strike, he said.
The strike has lasted more than four weeks, and MacKinnon said Friday that a federal mediator says negotiations are going in the wrong direction.
"I am making this decision to protect the interests of all Canadians," MacKinnon said. "It is not a decision I take lightly, but in this situation it is the right one."
