This morning, Labour Minister Steven McKinnon announced his plan to get the Canada Industrial Relations Board to "assess the likelihood of the parties reaching negotiated agreements by the end of 2024 under the current circumstances, and if the CIRB considers this unlikely, to order the Canada Post Corporation and all employees represented by CUPW to resume and continue their operations and duties, and to extend the terms of the existing collective agreements until May 22, 2025."

McKinnon also added that he is appointing an Industrial Inquiry Commission "to examine the issues preventing the resolution of the current labour dispute. I will direct the Commissioner to provide recommendations by May 15, 2025, on how new collective bargaining agreements can be reached."

Until we hear otherwise, we are still on strike. Hold the line.
