Over one hundred international aid organizations are raising the alarm about mass starvation in Gaza. While starvation spreads, the Israeli government falsely claims it is not responsible for the shortage of food in an area it is bombing and besieging.
Sunday June 1 2025
Canada Post Corporation (CPC) has refused the Canadian Union of Postal Workers' (CUPW) formal request to resolve all outstanding issues through fair, final, and binding arbitration for both bargaining units. CUPW strongly believes that CPC’s pursuit of a government-imposed vote on its last global offers will not bring lasting labour peace between the parties, regardless of the vote’s outcome.

CUPW strongly believes that the Canada Post requested government-imposed vote on Canada Post’s last global offers will not bring labour relations peace to these parties for the foreseeable future, notwithstanding the outcome of a forced vote.

Canada Post is a public service, not a profit-driven corporation, even though it operated profitably for many years. Postal workers deliver to every address in the country, including where competitors won’t go because they can’t make a profit. During our ongoing negotiations, we’ve heard countless stories about how much people rely on Canada Post. Without this public service, many people must travel far distances and pay much more for alternative services, if any even exist. The reported losses published over the last few years don’t tell the whole story. Canada Post has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to grow its parcel business, yet overall labour costs have decreased during the last few years.
Friday November 15 2024
For Immediate Release – OTTAWA – Some 55,000 postal workers represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) went on a nationwide strike on Friday, November 15 at 12:01am ET. After a year of bargaining with little progress, postal workers made the difficult decision to strike. Canada Post had the opportunity to prevent this strike, but it has refused to negotiate real solutions to the issues postal workers face every day. Instead, Canada Post left us no choice when it threatened to change our working conditions and leave our members exposed to layoffs.

As Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza, which has resulted in a devastating number of civilian deaths, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE), and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) are calling on the Canadian government to immediately suspend the trade of arms and military equipment with Israel.

Over 10, 000 people - including thousands of children – have been killed since violence began in Israel and Palestine on October 7, 2023, and the death toll continues to rise as the war enters its second month. CUPW condemns the targeting, kidnapping and killing of innocent civilians and calls on the Canadian Government to demand an immediate ceasefire.
Friday July 7 2023
OTTAWA – The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is urging the B.C. Maritime Employers Association to return to the bargaining table and negotiate a fair deal that meets the needs of the almost 7,500 port workers represented by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).

Support Postal Banking - Download and Sign the Petition
Canada needs a postal bank. Thousands of rural towns and villages in our country do not have a bank, but many of them have a post office that could provide financial services.

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