From September 24 to November 5, members voted to ratify the Program of Demands. The Union has now received the results...
Friday October 20 2023
CUPW is pleased to welcome Ebus drivers in Kamloops and Vancouver to our Union! Many of these new members are former Greyhound bus drivers who found work with Ebus after Greyhound left Western Canada in 2018. These workers are being paid the same rate as they were in 2016, when they were represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union. The skyrocketing cost of living in BC has made it difficult for workers to make ends meet.
Friday October 20 2023
Deadline to apply is extended until October 25, 2023 - Labour College, the Canadian Labour Congress’ (CLC) flagship trade union leadership development program, is a unique learning opportunity for union leaders and active members to learn new skills and take on the challenges that face the labour movement. It provides university level courses on issues related to work and the rights of workers in Canada. It gives graduates the necessary tools to be effective leaders in their union, their labour council, and the wider labour movement for the benefit of all workers.
Friday September 29 2023
The third National Truth and Reconciliation Day will take place on September 30. As one of the 94 calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the purpose of this day is to commemorate and honour the lives of Indigenous people killed by the State and the Church.
Tuesday September 26 2023
Canada Post launched its’ Employee Engagement Survey the week of September 11, 2023, and will remain open until October 13, 2023. CUPW believes that surveys administered by management are inappropriate and, undermines the role of the Union.
Friday September 22 2023
We were worried members may have missed the important launch of the CUPW Disability Portal. And we want you to know about this important initiative of the CUPW Child Care Fund. The portal was launched on December 3, 2022, on International Day for Persons with Disabilities.
Thursday September 21 2023
The Building Worker Power campaign of CUPW is currently seeking a CUPW member in each of the Montreal and Ontario regions to assist with the campaign and serve as a Regional Organizer (RO) in the Montreal and Ontario Regions.
Thursday September 21 2023
Fall Equinox takes place Saturday, September 23 this year. The Equinox is when the sun is directly above the equator, making daytime and night-time of equal length. It therefore marks a balance.
Thursday September 21 2023
In the coming weeks, members are being asked to make some big decisions about the future of our Union. Not only are we voting on our program of demands for our next round of bargaining, but we are also holding a referendum on a topic we’ve debated for a long time: the merger of our two biggest bargaining units into one.

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.

September has been a busy month. We finalized the program of demands for the 2023-2024 round of bargaining for Urban and RSCM units, and members have already begun voting to ratify them. You should have, or will soon receive, the Perspective magazine which includes the program of demands. Local ratification meetings are being held across the country over the next month and a half, and I encourage all members to attend your meeting and vote.
