OTTAWA - Officials with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers say there is little progress in negotiations with the post office as talks have paused.
Union officials say they'll meet with members of the bargaining committee this weekend to evaluate the situation and decide the next move.
A union email says there is no indication Canada Post is prepared to seriously discuss issues like staffing, workload and safety.
They say the post office seems more concerned about eliminating sick leave and imposing less pay and benefits on its urban workers.
The union has not issued a 72-hour strike notice, but it is telling its members they should be prepared to participate in job action in the "very near future."
Canada Post says it has put forward an offer giving employees better wages and no change to their existing pension and job security.
CUP-W represents 50-thousand urban postal workers.
