  • The future of Canada Post
    May 24 2025

    The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has called for a halt on overtime work, while negotiations continue with Canada Post. A report this week described the company as "effectively bankrupt." Workers are pushing for higher wages to cope with inflation and challenging the idea of a part-time workforce to extend their services to seven days a week. To answer your questions about the future of Canada Post, Just Asking was joined by two guests. Marvin Ryder is an Associate Professor, DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University. Barry Eidlin is an associate professor of sociology at McGill University and an expert on labour policy.
