Last November, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) went on strike against Canada Post, resulting in a disruption of postal services. As you may recall, the national strike was paused at the end of 2024 for an inquiry commission to take place. Now, as you may have heard, a labour disruption could happen again as early as May 22, 2025 (ref. Canada Post Notice – Negotiations updates).
