Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have  reached tentative five-year collective agreements covering both the Urban and  Rural and Suburban Mail Carrier (RSMC) bargaining units, following the  finalization of contractual language for agreements reached in principle in  November 2025. 

The tentative agreements, which would run through January 31,  2029, include wage increases tied to inflation in later years, enhanced  benefits, maintained defined benefit pensions, and the introduction of a new  operating model to support weekend parcel delivery. The union will administer  a ratification vote for CUPW-represented employees, and both parties have  agreed not to engage in strike or lockout activity during the ratification  process.
