Canada Post says talks with the union representing postal workers continue and it still hopes to negotiate a deal. Canada Post made new contract proposals about a week ago, and the union presented a counter-offer on Friday. Spokesman Jon Hamilton says the company has not given the required 72 hours notice of a lockout, nor has the union given notice of any job action. Both sides remain at the negotiating table and Hamilton says he hopes they can reach an agreement that is “affordable and reasonable.”Changes to employee pension plans have been a key sticking point in negotiations.
