KAMLOOPS — There will be no strike action by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers for at least the next couple of days.
Patricia Nauss, president of Kamloops Local 758, says the union has presented Canada Post with a new offer, and is waiting to hear a response.
Nauss says the union hasn’t issued strike notice, and the Post Office hasn’t issued lockout notice, so the Post Office should be functioning as usual for the next couple of days. Each side must give 72-hour notice before they can take action.
Nauss says the union’s stance is not to go on strike at this time. Canada Post has the option to lock out its workers.
Contract negotiations between Canada Post and CUPW began in December, with the key issue being changes proposed to employee pension plans. Other issues involve wages, working conditions, and job security. Canada Post says two other unions have agreed to pension plan changes, and CUPW is the only union holding out.
