Canada Post has rejected the Canadian Union of Postal Workers’ request to send their contract dispute to binding arbitration.
The union’s 55-thousand workers have been in a legal strike position for ten days but, so far, have only instituted a ban on overtime.
The corporation says the arbitration process could take as long as a year adding to its already-precarious financial position.
Canada Post presented what it called its “final offers” to the union on Wednesday of last week.
Meanwhile, Canada Post employees staged rallies in 13 cities across the country on Saturday, May 31, in an attempt to stir up support in their labour dispute with the crown corporation.
