These included the creation of a new classification for heavy duty vehicle mechanics, protections from the use of Maximo for the purposes of discipline, and a special pay adjustment for all Group 3 and 4 members. For their part Canada Post management submitted a number of demands concerning the work of Groups 3 and 4 members.

Also CPC proposed new job descriptions and statements of qualifications and the elimination of the apprenticeship program.
