Relations between Canada Post and its striking 55-thousand workers are getting even worse, as the strike finishes its fourth week.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says its latest offer reduces their pay demands to 19 per cent over four years.
But management says that’s still way too much as they’ve offered 11.5 per cent.
The union is sticking by its demand for new jobs to support an expansion into weekend delivery, a key sticking point in the talks and keeping maintenance staff as union members instead of contracting out the work.
Canada Post added these latest proposals would cost more than three-billion dollars over the four years a figure it calls “unsustainable.”
