"It is our hope that these proposals will reignite discussions and, together with the support of mediators, help the parties work toward final agreements," the statement said.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers said on its website that its negotiators are reviewing the framework documents, and noted the union and Canada Post have both adjusted their demands in the hope of restarting talks.
"We understand the impact [the union's] national strike is having on our employees and so many Canadians. Canada Post remains committed to negotiating new collective agreements that will provide our employees and customers with the certainty they are looking for."
However, the statement said there has been no word from the mediator that talks will resume. And while it said the union is ready for a re-start, it said the framework did not appear to take into account the labour minister's comments about the agreement needing to be "ratifiable."
