Union members ordered back to work under their existing contracts, which are extended until May
Mail will begin moving again on Tuesday as Canada Post employees return to work for the first time in more than a month after the federal government pushed to end the stoppage.
Canada Post said Sunday night that after two days of hearings over the weekend, an impasse was declared by the board. In the meantime, Canada Post says it has agreed with the union to implement a five per cent wage increase, retroactive to the day after the collective agreements expired. It said on Friday that MacKinnon’s intervention was part of a troubling pattern in which the government lets employers off the hook for bargaining in good faith with workers and their unions.
