May 28, 2025 | 1:01 AM

Canada Post and the union representing 55,000 of its workers are set to head back to the bargaining table as an overtime ban remains in effect.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says the Crown corporation proposed continuing talks today.

It says Canada Post plans to respond to proposals the union presented on Sunday.

The union had been in a strike position starting Friday but opted instead for an overtime ban.

Some key issues in the labour dispute include wages and other forms of compensation, along with the potential of more part-time staff and weekend delivery.
