Canada Post and the Canadian Postal Workers Union reached a ‘framework for agreement’ Wednesday, making a strike less likely, according to Canada Post.
The two sides have agreed to finalize the deal within 72 hours. The CPWU will then present it to its members for ratification.
No details of the agreement were available at deadline. The workers have been without a collective agreement since Jan. 31.
If the CPWU’s 48,000 members reject the package or if the two sides fail to agree on final language, a strike or lockout is still possible.
