Today, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour, issued the following statement regarding the collective bargaining negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers:

“Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers have been unable to reach new collective agreements and the union has commenced legal strike actions.

Our government believes in a fair and balanced collective bargaining process. I encourage both parties to continue bargaining and remain hopeful they will reach an agreement.
