The talks come after workers rejected Canada Post’s latest proposal, which would have seen wage hikes of about 13 per cent over four years and restructuring to add part-time workers to the deal.
The union says its national overtime ban remains in effect.
Negotiations for a new collective agreement have been ongoing for more than a year and a half.
Canada Post had said its latest offer, which was rejected by workers, reflected the company’s “current realities while protecting items that are important to employees.”
