Canada Post, APOC sign collective agreement

Deal settled months before current deal expires: Employer

Canada Post and the Association of Postal Officials of Canada (APOC), signed a new three-year collective agreement Nov. 27, four months before the current agreement expires.

"Achieving this agreement well in advance underscores the respectful, cooperative relationship between the parties," said Deepak Chopra, president and CEO.

The agreement includes wage increases in every year and improvements in health-care benefits, said Canada Post.

APOC members had ratified a tentative agreement earlier in November. The new agreement takes effect on April 1, 2018, immediately after the current agreement expires. It will be in effect until March 31, 2021.

APOC represents more than 3,500 supervisors and support staff, such as trainers and route measurement officers and some employees in sales.
