Canada Post makes final offer

The union representing Canada Post workers has given the Crown corporation an ultimatum: either accept their final offer or they go on strike. The strike will begin Thursday night is the offer is rejected.

The union says the strike notice puts pressure on Canada Post to negotiate. It says it is willing to talk up until the deadline.

The new offer includes changes to positions as well as lessened wage increases. Negotiations to reach a new collective agreement have been in the works since last fall.
