Canada Post says it’s latest offer to striking workers closes the gap on key issues such as weekend delivery, pensions and wages, so it was surprised to hear the union publicly reject it.

No talks are scheduled as the strike by some 55,000 postal workers enters its fourth week.

Canada Post says it continues to put forward fair offers that are focused on its customers and employees—improving service to grow the parcel business, while protecting and enhancing what the employees have today.

Meanwhile, CUP-W St. John’s President Craig Dyer says the two sides haven’t even been able to agree on the wording of health and safety regulations. He says a report has found that working conditions at the Kenmount postal station are toxic.

The Crown corporation, meanwhile, says the union is insisting that people outside the bargaining unit including cleaning staff and contracted support services, be made full-time employees of Canada Post.
