Important Update

On June 14th, the Union received letters from Canada Post stating that as of July 2nd, RSMC and Urban members will no longer be covered by our benefit plans. It is extremely important that you read this bulletin and follow the suggestions we have made.
Are you on drugs?
Many members or their family members are on prescription drugs that are commonly referred to as maintenance drugs or long-term medications. Maintenance or long-term medications are those drugs you may take on a regular basis to treat conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes.
July 2nd Fast Approaching
Both the RSMC and Urban Collective Agreements could expire on July 2nd and if that were to happen, we would not be guaranteed coverage under our Drug Plan. Members would then have to pay 100% of the cost of any prescription.
Three-month Supply
If you or a family member is on any medication that would fit into the category of maintenance or long-term medication, you should consider speaking with your Doctor and have him or her write out a prescription so that you can receive a three-month supply of the drug.
Have the prescription filled in June to ensure that you have your necessary medications to take you through a strike or lockout.
While we hope to have a negotiated Collective Agreement, it is always best to prepare.
