Why it matters
What the 2024 to 2026 dispute looked like.
Brands that shipped only with Canada Post lived this twice in under a year.
November 15, 2024
National strike
Canada Post stops delivering in the middle of the holiday rush.
December 17, 2024
Back to work, by order
The Canada Industrial Relations Board orders a return to work and extends the contracts to May 2025.
May 23, 2025
Overtime ban
The union bans overtime instead of striking again.
September 25, 2025
Second national strike
Operations shut down the day it is announced.
October 11, 2025
Rotating strikes
Workers return, and strikes move from region to region.
June 1, 2026
New contracts ratified
Members accept agreements that run to January 31, 2029.
Labour peace is in place until 2029. The lesson still holds: a one-carrier setup turns any disruption, a strike, a storm or a peak-season backlog, into late orders or retail rates.
