‘ LONG WAY TO GO’ IN POSTAL TALKS
OTTAWA The union representing 50,000 employees at Canada Post panned the latest contract offers from the corporation Thursday, calling them “disappointing” and keeping alive the threat of a stoppage as the busy holiday online shopping season approaches.
Separate offers for rural and urban carriers included “very small movements” toward resolving some key issues, said the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.
On a proposal directed at rural carriers, the union said, “We have a long way to go.”
