Warehouse Workers Against ICE Petition: https://form.jotform.com/251684939561066 Palestinian Trade Unions Statement: https://masarbadil.org/en/2025/07/6308/ No Azure for Apartheid Pledge: https://t.co/df0U2S9P26 We're back after our brief vacation! And so much has happened in the last two weeks! We've got a supersized headline section covering workers organizing at REI, Starbucks, FedEx, UPS, Airgas, Care New England, the Wonderful Company, Canada Post, and more. For our major stories, we start with a review of how university administrators are using the Trump Administration's attacks on higher education as cover to push forward attacks on student organizers. While many workers are coming together to fight ICE, a recent Labor Notes report documents how the leadership of some parts of the building trades are failing the most basic test of a union leader: solidarity. Workers at Fenway Park have gone on strike for the first time after contracting giant Aramark refuses to pay them enough to live in one of the most expensive parts of the country. Finally, we discuss the state of ICE's attacks on the US working class and how more and more Americans are realizing the shared interests we have with our immigrant siblings.

C.H. Robinson announces groundbreaking adoption of AI agents to classify LTL freight, a move set to revolutionize classification, enhance efficiency, and accuracy in logistics. This innovation is particularly significant given upcoming changes to the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) system and is expected to generate operating leverage in North American Surface Transportation (NAST) by automating over 75% of LTL orders. Canada Post reached a collective bargaining agreement with its second-largest union, the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA), after 18 months of negotiations. This deal grants postmasters an 11% wage increase over three years, while a standoff continues with their largest union, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), prompting government intervention. DHL Express Canada requested for an exemption from new legislation banning replacement workers during strikes or lockouts, forcing them to suspend operations. The company argues this cessation significantly harms businesses and communities, affecting over 50,000 international shipments daily, but the union, Unifor, strongly opposes any special treatment. Explore the swift resolution of a legal battle between DAT Freight & Analytics and factoring company OTR Solutions, bringing a quick end to a dispute over factoring services. This settlement allows DAT to market the factoring services of Outgo, a company it recently acquired, on its platform, which had been previously suspended by a court order. FourKites CEO allegedly manipulated comments by FreightWaves' CEO to unfairly criticize Project44's Movement platform, highlighting competitive rivalries in logistics technology. This behavior, which included misrepresenting the context of the statements, raises questions about ethical conduct, given FourKites' history of purported unethical actions against Project44. Recent flooding and rockslides shut down a critical stretch of Interstate 40 between the North Carolina and Tennessee border. This key route was previously ravaged by Hurricane Helene last September and only partially reopened in February 2025, emphasizing its vulnerability to natural disasters.

On this FreightWaves morning minute, hear updates on a major labor dispute and a system outage impacting the logistics sector. A lengthy ⁠Teamsters strike against 10 Roads Express may be nearing an end⁠ after several months of negotiations. A representative from Teamsters Local 79 in Tampa, Florida, indicated that talks are in the final stages of settlement for the walkout, which began in February and involved over 500 Teamster drivers across 10 states for the U.S. Postal Service contract carrier.  Additionally, ⁠United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) was hit with a cyberattack⁠ over the weekend, causing some of its systems to be temporarily taken offline.

Beckler & Seanna talk about big noses, Starlink, and talk to a retired Canada Post employee for Career Day. **

The ⁠Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has revealed plans to cut its workforce by approximately 7%⁠, eliminating 89 full-time and part-time positions primarily at its headquarters, while simultaneously requesting a slight increase in funding, bringing its total budget to over $1 billion for the next fiscal year.  The ⁠DOE benchmark diesel price has fallen to a milestone low⁠, reaching its lowest point since September 2021, with the average weekly retail price now at $3.45 a gallon, marking a decline over seven of the past eight weeks. Despite this trend, futures prices moved up even after news that OPEC Plus would increase output, indicating a continued unwinding of their 2023 production cuts.  Furthermore, the ⁠labor dispute involving Canada Post continues to intensify⁠ after the state-owned corporation rejected a proposal for binding arbitration from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). This rejection prolongs uncertainty following the union's refusal to work overtime since May 23rd, which has already caused delivery slowdowns and a significant drop in Canada Post's parcel volumes, pushing e-commerce retailers to alternative carriers.  Looking ahead, FreightWaves is hosting several key events, including the ⁠Enterprise Fleet Summit on July 23rd⁠. Additionally, the ⁠Supply Chain AI Symposium is scheduled for July 30th⁠ in Washington D.C., with opportunities for interested speakers. Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the Canadian godfathers of AI launches a non-profit, with some 40-million dollars in funding, to protect people from the technology he pioneered. A Manitoba chief is urging anyone who hasn't left his community yet to flee the out-of-control blaze that's approaching -- before it's too late.On the eve of a potential doubling of tariffs, an Ontario mayor braces everyone who works at the local steel plant -- and everyone in the city who doesn't -- for extreme economic pain. A Montreal tour guide shares the story behind a new Canada Post stamp depicting a 1977 police raid on one of the city's most historic gay bars -- and the fight for equal rights that followed. He's an Albertan, and he works at a big hockey bar -- but despite his Canadian pride, a Calgary Flames fan tells us he just can't bring himself to cheer for the Edmonton Oilers. Residents of a UK community resort to some very colourful -- and disproportionately dramatic -- language, when a section of local road is painted red for safety. As It Happens, the Tuesday Edition. Radio that figures the problem is just a pigment of their imagination. 

President Trump has announced a doubling of tariffs on imported steel from 25% to 50% to protect domestic jobs and strengthen the industry. This move follows a previous tariff announcement and aims to ensure America's future is built with U.S.-produced steel rather than "shoddy steel from Shanghai". You can read more about the tariff increase here. We also discuss the ongoing labor dispute involving Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). Canada Post has requested government intervention to hold a vote among unionized employees on its latest contract offer, highlighting the impasse in negotiations over wages and structural changes.

Additionally, we highlight executive changes and potential IPO plans at the autonomous freight technology company Einride. Founder Robert Falck is transitioning from CEO to executive chairman, while CFO Roozbeh Charll is taking over the CEO role with an eye toward a potential IPO in the U.S..

However, the threat of a strike has already damaged Canada Post's parcel business, leading to anticipated delays and a sharp drop in volumes as customers seek alternative carriers. Aurora Innovation has decided to keep a person in the driver's seat of its autonomous trucks temporarily at the request of OEM partner Paccar, due to certain prototype parts in the base vehicle platform. This observer will not operate the vehicle but will assist with timely recovery if needed, such as pulling over for events like a tire blowout or bad weather.

This week, Canada Post received a strike notice from its union representing 55,000 workers. The notice comes just less than a year after the last postal strike back in November. Canada Post is under major financial trouble. A recent report commissioned by the federal government says the postal corporation is in an “existential crisis.” Canada Post has lost $3-billion since 2018 and according to the report, that's due to a drop in letter mail and parcel delivery competition. This is putting even more pressure on the corporation and the union to come to a deal.Meera Raman is a financial and retirement planning reporter at The Globe. She'll explain the financial state of Canada Post, what's been happening with negotiations, and what the impact could be on Canadians.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

A judge blocks – for now – the White House attempt to ban Harvard from accepting international students. The uncertainty about what happens next is leaving students – including Canadians – in limbo. It's the latest front in the war between U.S. President Donald Trump and elite universities.Also: Trump is threatening the European Union with 50 per cent tariffs – saying trade negotiations are “going nowhere”. He also says Apple should face 25 per cent tariffs on iPhones not made in America.And: Ukraine and Russia trade hundreds of prisoners of war, as talks are underway to get some sort of ceasefire in place.Plus: Canada's energy minister tries to reset the relationship with industry, Canada Post union refuses overtime, Attenborough documentary looks at ocean trawling, and more.

The fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff members in Washington is spreading fear in Jewish communities in the U.S. and Canada. The FBI director says the attack was a targeted anti-Semitic act of terror. A 31-year-old man was arrested at the scene, as he called out "free Palestine"And: Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement saying he is devastated by the shootings, and he condemns the violence and antisemitism. Israel's prime minister suggested Canada - and other countries – have played a role in emboldening Hamas. Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas is grateful to Carney and the leaders of France and Britain for saying the war in Gaza should end immediately.Also: The two sides in the Canada Post labour dispute are not talking, and a strike could begin at midnight tonight – the second disruption in a year. Small business owners who rely on the mail service are trying to find other options.Plus: G7 finance ministers meet, Stellantis delays production on one of its electric vehicles, Canada's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander named NBA MVP, and more.

The union representing Canada's postal workers has served strike notice to Canada Post, meaning 55-thousand employees at the crown corporation could walk off the job on Friday. Unless a last minute deal is reached, it will be the second time in roughly 6 months that Canadians will lose access to our national postal service. Small and medium sized businesses are bracing for impact, with the last job action costing them a lot of cash in lost business and more expensive shipping alternatives. Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with Jasmin Guenette, VP of National Affairs at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business about the impact a postal strike would have, how Canada Post needs to change, and what the federal government can do in the event of a strike.
