Hindu values consider the entire world a family when they say “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.”

Bargaining with Canada Post has never been easy, and this latest round of negotiations is no different. CUPW came to the table with reasonable demands to improve the lives of postal workers and the public – today and in the future – and the Corporation has dragged its feet, only presenting a wage offer almost a year into bargaining

This afternoon, Canada Post negotiators informed CUPW that they were leaving the bargaining table, calling it a “temporary pause,” to put together another set of offers.
