Postal workers ratify agreement reached last summer with Canada Post
MONTREAL — The Canadian Union of Postal Workers announced Monday its members have ratified a tentative deal reached last summer with Canada Post.
Rural and suburban mail carriers voted 55 per cent in favour of the new contract, while urban postal workers voted 63 per cent in favour, said Lise-Lyne Gelineau, president of the union’s Montreal section.
“What’s important is that we are moving forward,” she said in an interview.
“I think we couldn’t have expected 90 per cent approval — that’s clear. There are people on the ground who are concerned about issues that the agreement won’t fix.”
