Prince George, B.C. – Canada Post and  the Canadian Union of Postal Workers,  continue  to talk.

The wo sides have been in talks since  early this month  when Canada Post withdrew its 72 hour strike notice.

A brief update from Canada Post  indicates that while  they are talking,  with the support of mediators,  there won’t be any updates on specific issues at the table, “unless there are significant developments”.

The goal is to reach a negotiated settlement.  Canada Post  is open to  sending the  matter to binding arbitration  should talks  break down, but CUP-W  has balked at that idea.

While  the contract talks continue,  the postal service  continues operating.
