During a recent audit of the employer-provided database, CUPW found that 1754 routes with RMBs were not using the reaching device for delivery to RMBs.

Is this your case?

FURTHER REVISED - After having to cancel the Union Education Program (UEP) that was scheduled for October 2020 until March 2021, we are re-launching the UEP, in the hopes that the pandemic will be behind us and public health regulations will have been lifted.

Today, May 28, Canada Post presented what it calls its “best and final” offers for both the RSMC and Urban bargaining units.
While Canada Post insists that its offers reflect the Union’s demands from our May 25 proposal, there are almost no changes from what the Employer put forward on May 21. There's no question: Canada Post is not negotiating. Canada Post is playing hardball.
