Canada Post says it is considering its next step after unionized workers overwhelmingly rejected the Crown corporation’s latest contract offer, worsening a long-running labour standoff and risking further disruption to postal service.
Voting on the offer concluded Aug. 1, with the 55,000-strong Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) voting to reject the deal, which would have raised wages 13 percent over four years and created more part-time postal jobs.
