Mail will begin moving again on Tuesday as Canada Post employees return to work for the first time in more than a month after the federal government pushed to end the stoppage.
Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon directed the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order the 55,000 picketing employees back to work within days if the tribunal determines a deal isn't doable before the end of the year. Canada Post said Sunday night that after two days of hearings over the weekend, an impasse was declared. It says union members have been ordered back to work under their existing contract, which has been extended until May to allow the bargaining process to resume.
In the meantime, Canada Post says it has agreed with the union to implement a five per cent wage increase, retroactive to the day after the collective agreements expired.
