More than 53,000 postal workers have overwhelmingly ratified a tentative agreement with Canada Post, bringing an end to a two-year contract dispute that led to two national strikes, and clearing the way for the Crown corporation to move ahead with a massive restructuring.
Members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers’ (CUPW) urban bargaining unit approved the deal 89 per cent to 11 per cent, while CUPW’s rural and suburban unit approved their deal 85.9 per cent to 14.1 per cent, in voting which began April 20 and closed Saturday.
