The Canada Post strike that began on September 25, 2025, is currently ongoing with no definitive end date announced. The strike was launched by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) in response to government reforms and ongoing contract disputes. Previous strikes have lasted over a month (like the one in late 2024). The duration of the current strike will likely depend on negotiations and potential government intervention, but as of now, the strike continues with no clear timeline for resolution.
Key details about the strike duration context:
- The current strike began on September 25, 2025, after escalating actions earlier in the month.
- Past strikes in the dispute have lasted more than a month.
- The strike involves around 55,000 workers represented by CUPW.
- The federal government has announced reforms that the union opposes, adding to the conflict.
- Canada Post operations are largely shut down during the strike, affecting mail and parcel delivery nationwide.
At present, both sides remain in an impasse, so the strike could last days to weeks longer depending on negotiation outcomes or government decisions.
