It’s been two weeks since members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers rejected the employers’ latest offers in a majority vote.
After more than a year and a half of negotiations, the two sides met with federal mediators earlier this week before agreeing to meet with each other.
Canada Post says it looks forward to receiving a comprehensive response from the union that addresses the significant and increasing challenges facing the postal service.
In the meantime, the union is keeping up its national ban on overtime work.
