Unfair labour practice complaint over Canada Post layoffs resolved

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers recently filed a complaint with the Canada Industrial Relations Board after some workers received temporary layoff notices while on strike. This move was seen as a blatant intimidation tactic by the union, accusing Canada Post of violating the Canada Labour Code. However, a mediated settlement has now been reached, putting an end to the dispute.

Under the terms of the resolution, Canada Post has agreed not to lay off any striking workers. This comes as a relief to the 328 employees who were issued layoff notices, as they will now be informed that they are not on temporary layoff. While Canada Post reserves the right to make staffing adjustments in the future if necessary, this resolution marks a positive step forward in resolving the ongoing strike.

The strike, which involves more than 55,000 postal workers, has been ongoing for nearly four weeks. The key issues at hand include concerns over wages and working conditions. With this recent development, there is hope that both parties can come to a mutually beneficial agreement in the near future.
