After a 53-25 senate vote in favour of back-to-work legislation, Canada Post employees will return to work today starting at 11 this morning.
What happens next is Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) will negotiate using an independant mediator-arbitrator whom will be chosen with input from both sides. If an agreement is not reached after a certain amount of time, a deal will then be imposed on both sides.
Officials with CUPW say it's unconstitutional to legislate away their ability to be on strike. They say they will challenge the back-to-work legislation in court.
