Download and sign the petition urging the Government of Canada to instruct Canada Post to add postal banking, with a mandate for financial inclusion.

Wednesday December 11 2024
Today, CUPW successfully challenged the temporary layoff notices that Canada Post improperly issued to approximately 328 striking CUPW members in November 2024.
Tuesday December 10 2024
In our most recent proposals to Canada Post, the Union addressed many issues the Employer had first brought to the bargaining table. Far from trying to “widen the gap in negotiations,” the Union’s intention is to help the parties come to negotiated agreements. CUPW wants nothing more than for its members to have good collective agreements, with their rights protected.
Tuesday December 10 2024
Please note: This information contained in this bulletin about the RAMQ only applies to CUPW members living in the Province of Quebec. On November 15, Canada Post suspended the Extended Health Care Plan (the “EHCP”), including prescription drug coverage. Therefore, as of this date, Canada Post employees who do not have access to another plan find themselves without drug insurance coverage.
Monday December 9 2024

Thursday December 5 2024
The public post office distributes government cheques that are a vital part of the social safety net. We do not want pensioners and people who rely on government assistance to suffer during the current work disruption. The most vulnerable members of our society should not be caught in the crosshairs of our contract dispute with Canada Post.
Wednesday December 4 2024
Today, the National Executive Board finalized the Union’s latest counter proposals for the Urban, RSMC and combined demands. CUPW Negotiators quickly forwarded the new proposals to the Special Mediator. The Union has been ready to return to the mediation process since it was suspended by the Government’s Special Mediator. As such, our counter proposals contain movement on both our demands and Employer demands to help bring the parties closer to an agreement.
Tuesday December 3 2024
Today, December 3, the National Executive Board met to update the Union’s response to Canada Post’s “comprehensive framework” provided on December 1, 2024. Our response focuses on four key issues, which we need to see addressed if we are to achieve negotiated collective agreements.

Friday November 29 2024
On November 29th, 2024, CUPW has filed an Unfair Labour Practice complaint with the CIRB against lay offs imposed by CPC on workers who are exercising their legal right to strike. We feel this unprecedented move on the part of CPC is a clear intimidation tactic in violation of the Canada Labour Code. It is an attack on your fundamental right to strike that is enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

CUPW launched its postal banking campaign with a giant inflatable piggy bank in downtown Ottawa.
