News and Events

On March 3rd and 4th, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) continued with its constitutional challenge before the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB).

A Federal election could be called in the coming weeks. As is the case, CUPW has updated its pre-election report card, grading all federal parties on the issues that are important to CUPW members.

CUPW negotiators met with Canada Post, March 1 – 2, to resolve our bargaining dispute and achieve new collective agreements for the Urban and RSMC units. CUPW came to the bargaining table prepared to negotiate collective agreements that will benefit postal workers and strengthen the public post office for generations to come. The Union offered meaningful proposals to help Canada Post expand into weekend parcel deliveries, while protecting full-time jobs. However, the Corporation continued to push for serious rollbacks that would gut our agreements, explode part-time and temporary work, and undermine our full-time jobs.

This weekend, March 1 and 2, CUPW and Canada Post negotiators will reconvene in Ottawa to resume bargaining and trying to secure new collective agreements for Urban and RSMC units. Your National Executive Board and Negotiating Committees remain steadfast in their commitment to reaching fair collective agreements.
