September 2026 Bargaining Update
After bargaining was deferred last year, our PSAC-UPCE bargaining team is gearing up to return to the bargaining table with Canada Post.
Our bargaining team met September 1-2 to review our outstanding proposals and prepare for negotiations to resume on September 28.
Since bargaining was put on pause, Canada Post has reached agreements with other unions including APOC and CUPW.

Our priorities are clear: we want an agreement that is fair, keeps up with the rising cost of living, and reflects gains made by other Canada Post workers.
