    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. As well, nearly two million Canadians desperately need an alternative to payday lenders. A postal bank could be that alternative. Download and sign the petition urging the Government of Canada to instruct Canada Post to add postal banking, with a mandate for financial inclusion.

    On June 30 1981, CUPW members from sea to sea to sea went on a nationwide strike. One of the main issues in the strike was a maternity leave top up –or paid maternity leave so that women would not lose money when they took leave to have children.

    We have received a number of concerns from members who are trying to update their email addresses for the so-called final offer vote. It has only been one day since we received that directive from the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB).

    As you are aware, on June 12th, 2025, the Minister of Jobs and Families ordered the conduct of a vote on Canada Post’s final offers from May 28th, 2025 for the Urban and RSMC bargaining units and has directed that the CIRB be in charge of conducting said votes.

    Canada Post intends to attack our job security in upcoming rounds of bargaining. They made this crystal clear in their submissions to the Industrial Inquiry Commission (IIC) chaired by William Kaplan. They are actively rolling out automation at work sites.

    Canada Post says its wage offer provides for a pay increase of 6% in the first year followed by increases of 3%, 2% and 2% in subsequent years. CUPW says CPC’s offer for the first year does not come close to being a pay increase of 6%. Who is telling the truth?

    Today, June 20th, 2025, we had our first meeting with the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to discuss details of the upcoming government-imposed vote on Canada Post’s May 28th, 2025 final offers for both postal bargaining units. The meeting was virtual and hosted by the CIRB and lasted about one and a half hours. This meeting was scheduled for preliminary discussions to address some aspects of the process regarding the way the vote would be conducted. The subject identified by the CIRB to be on the agenda were as follows
    Thursday June 19 2025
    In its efforts to convince postal workers to accept its so called “best and final offer”, Canada Post claims to have dropped many of its original proposals for rollbacks. It says it no longer has plans to put all new employees on defined contribution pensions. It says its proposals will not end route ownership for letter carriers and RSMCs. It says it is not attacking job security. It even says it is no longer demanding higher premiums for retiree benefits. What it does not say is that it has plans to bring every one of these rollbacks back to the negotiating table.

    On June 12, Minister of Jobs and Families Patty Hajdu granted Canada Post’s request and chose to force a vote on the Employer’s “best and final offers” for both postal bargaining units.
