Canada Post support workers have accepted a deal that will end a month-long strike.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada issued a statement Tuesday morning announcing that 2,100 Canada Post employees have voted to accept a four-year deal that was tabled on Sunday. The workers were expected to return to work on Tuesday.

The striking support workers, who are members of the Union of Postal Communications Employees, had rejected two previous offers.

Under the agreement, the Canada Post employees will receive a 2.5 per cent pay increase over the first two years and a 2.75 per cent raise during the final two years.

The new deal will also resolve issues around sick leave and family-related leave and improves the short-term disability plan, said the Public Service Alliance in the release.

Under the agreement, employees will be allowed up to two days for family-related responsibilities after their personal days have been exhausted. They will also be allowed to bank up to five personal days per year — giving them a maximum of 12 annually.

The support workers — who handle clerical, financial, engineering and administrative work for Canada Post — voted 88 per cent in favour of the strike, which began on Nov. 17.

Picket lines were set up in cities across the country, but despite reported minor delays in processing mail there was no significant disruption to postal delivery during the strike.
