Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon is sending the labour dispute between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) to the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

MacKinnon said Friday that if the board determines negotiations between the parties are at an impasse, it has been directed to order striking CUPW members back to work under the existing collective agreement until May 22, 2025.

    I don’t think the government should have done this but, being as they did, I think they punish both sides somehow in order to discourage future foot dragging by other unions/companies.

    Maybe force Canada Post to accept the last offer made, only give half of that to the postal workers, then give the other half to Uber eats drivers.
