Thursday December 12 2024
In the midst of the ongoing postal strike, it’s easy to feel disheartened. The pressure of public opinion, financial strain, and relentless pushback can make even the most steadfast among us question this fight. But this is the time to pause and remember why this strike matters. This isn’t just about pay or benefits—it’s about fairness, dignity, and the recognition that the work you do is important to communities across the country.
Monday September 9 2024
Over the past few weeks, it has been an incredible experience visiting work floors and connecting with members. Hearing your experiences, concerns, and hopes for a better workplace has been encouraging. Our collective actions are truly making a difference, and the energy is evident as we continue to build momentum together.
Thursday August 29 2024
Labour Day is more than just a day off work; it’s a testament to the power of collective action. It’s a reminder of the countless workers who, through sweat, determination, and sometimes great personal sacrifice, have fought for the rights we often take for granted today. The eight-hour workday, weekends, health and safety standards, and the right to organize— all of these hard-won gains were achieved through the tireless efforts of workers united in a common cause.
Wednesday February 7 2024
We are just over a month into 2024, and it’s already been a busy year for CUPW. And it will only get busier!
Thursday December 21 2023
It’s been an eventful 2023 for CUPW!
We held our National Convention and elected our National Executive Board members and Union Representatives from across the country, we welcomed new private sector workers to our Union, we continued to mobilize workfloors and build worker power in preparation for bargaining, and we expanded our Family and Child Care Connections program.
Thursday September 28 2023
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.

It’s been a hot summer for the planet and for the labour movement.
It seems like we are experiencing once in a lifetime weather events every month – from raging wildfires across the country, to tornadoes touching down in suburban neighbourhoods, and record flooding in the Maritimes – it’s heartbreaking to see so many communities lose so much and have to rebuild their lives.
Friday June 16 2023
It’s been just over a month since CUPW held its 27th National Convention in Toronto where delegates spent a week debating reports, resolutions and elected their leaders for the 2023-2027 term. I’d like to once again welcome and congratulate all newly elected union representatives and thank them for their service and dedication to CUPW.
Thursday March 16 2023
This year, as we have over the last several years, CUPW observed International Women’s Day by honouring some of the trailblazing women who have shaped and reshaped our Union.

It’s never been easy, but the only way to improve our living conditions is together. Get involved!
We are over halfway through Black History Month (BHM). I know many members are supporting and participating in local BHM events and celebrations. For those who aren’t, there is still time. Events continue in your community throughout the month and I encourage you to get involved.

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.

June 21, National Indigenous Peoples Day, we honour the histories, cultures, resistance, and ongoing contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Turtle Island. This is a day to celebrate Indigenous resurgence and to reflect on the responsibilities we all carry as people living and working on Indigenous lands.
Friday May 30 2025
Today, May 30, CUPW met with Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families, and John Zerucelli, Secretary of State for Labour. It was our second meeting with them since they were appointed to their positions after the federal election.
At the meeting, we shared our thoughts and concerns about negotiations and the recent global offers from Canada Post. We were assured that the Minister would continue to play an intermediary role in the bargaining process but will not intervene at this time.

Media Advisory -
OTTAWA - Canada Post’s plan will result in sweeping changes to our public postal system’s regulatory framework. The Corporation’s most recent contract offers to CUPW don’t drop its proposed rollbacks. When combined, this is sure to result in service and job cuts.
Friday May 30 2025
Wildfire season is early again this year. Fires are already raging in the northern part of the Prairies, in some Eastern provinces and in more isolated locations across the country. This is simply a reminder that we need to be ready to respond when such a situation arises again this year. In fact, some communities in Manitoba have received evacuation notices, and it is very likely that others will have to be evacuated over the coming weeks. In some part of Canada, the winter was mild with very little precipitation, increasing the risk of outbreaks. Therefore, we must once again be vigilant and ready to take the necessary measures to ensure everyone’s safety.
Wednesday May 28 2025

Wednesday May 28 2025
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.
Wednesday May 28 2025
