Canada Post Office, CUPW return to bargaining

There’s no imminent postal strike, says an optimistic spokesman for Canada Post.

“Things look pretty good actually. We’re back at the table Monday for some intense negotiations,” said John Caines.

Results of a strike vote by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers were expected Sunday. The union could not be reached for comment.

“They’re in a legal strike position on Tuesday, and we’re in a legal lockout position on Tuesday,” said Caines. “Neither party has indicated anything will happen other than more negotiations.”

Joanne Miller, president of the Calgary local of CUPW, recently said record profits should be used to improve postal service.
