After 18 months of negotiations, Canada Post and the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) have a new collective agreement.
CPAA is Canada Post’s second-largest bargaining agent and represents more than 8,500 employees. Employees represented by CPAA are primarily responsible for managing post offices in rural Canada.
According to a news release from Canada Post, the new collective agreement between the two parties “addresses issues that are important to employees, while also reflecting the corporation’s current realities.”
It includes an 11 per cent wage increase over three years, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2024 (six per cent increase in 2024, three per cent in 2025 and two per cent in 2026).
The new collective agreement between Canada Post and CPAA is effective from Jan. 1, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2026.
