On June 12, 2025, federal Jobs and Families Minister Patty Hajdu announced she will mandate a vote on Canada Post’s final contract offers to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), citing public interest after 18 months of negotiations and ongoing strikes.

Canada Post welcomed the move, calling it a chance for employees to shape the future of the organization. However, CUPW expressed strong disappointment, calling the decision biased toward the employer and a violation of union rights. The union says little has changed in recent talks and warns that a "yes" vote would gut the current collective agreement.
