The Canadian Union of Postal Workers presented new offers to Canada Post on Wednesday seeking higher wages while allowing for the addition of weekend delivery and part-time workers to the postal service.

The new proposals include annual wage increases of nine per cent in the first year of the agreement, and four per cent in the second year, followed by hikes of three per cent in years three and four.

That's up from the roughly 13 per cent over four years included in Canada Post's most recent offers from late May.

Unionized workers rejected those offers in a direct vote earlier this month.
