DHL Express Canada faced a significant labor disruption after locking out 2,100 workers when contract negotiations stalled. As Unifor initiated a strike, concerns mounted over impacts on parcel delivery across Canada. DHL proposed a 15% salary increase over five years and altered the pay system, claiming it was essential for economic viability. Unifor, however, resisted these changes and emphasized demands for better wages and working conditions. The strike may also disrupt major events, like the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix, highlighting broader tensions in the parcel delivery sector amid ongoing negotiations with other unions like Canada Post.
Unifor's bargaining priorities focus on wages, working conditions, and addressing surveillance and automation in the workplace, reflecting the challenges faced by modern labor forces.
DHL Express argues that changes in the driver pay system are designed to enhance economic viability, while struggling against rising tensions and disruptions in Canada's delivery sector.
