This case study delves into the labour dispute between the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and Canada Post, highlighting the union's demands for better job security, reduced workloads, and improved health and safety measures. The dispute escalated to rotating strikes, causing significant mail backlogs and prompting intervention from the Retail Council of Canada and eBay, who urged the government to legislate an end to the strike. As negotiations stalled, the union rejected Canada Post's latest offers and requested federal mediation. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appealed for a swift resolution, while the government considered options, including back-to-work legislation, to address the disruptions. This analysis captures the complexities of the negotiations and the potential consequences for both the postal service and the broader economy.
