Friday April 14 2023
In the last few years, we’ve seen huge changes in postal work. E-commerce, digital communications, and new technologies are transforming the postal and delivery industry. While internet services have replaced a large share of traditional lettermail volumes, e-commerce has driven massive fluctuations in parcels volumes. In 2019, for the first time, Canada post earned more revenue from parcels than lettermail. And since the COVID-19 pandemic, this trend has only accelerated.

SPECIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC
As we are all acutely aware, the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the way society operates. Our Union is not exempt from this. As a result, the 2nd verification of the National Board of Trustees was very different than any before it.
Wednesday January 18 2023

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.

Immediately following the announcement of the vote results, CUPW will contact management and invite them to return to the bargaining table.
Both sides must make a commitment to stay at the table until we have an agreement.
During negotiations, CUPW will maintain our overtime ban but not take any additional actions such as a rotating or full-scale strike.
Monday July 14 2025
Canada Post has launched a massive communications campaign to sell CUPW members on its “best and final offers.” But remember, Canada Post is only highlighting what it wants you to see. The devil is in the details.
Taking a deeper dive into CPC’s offers and comparing its summaries to its proposed collective agreement language, you’ll find that not everything is quite how Management has made it out to be.

Deadline to apply: September 14, 2025 -
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 July 11 2025
The RSMC and Urban Bargaining Committees have unanimously recommended that ALL members decisively reject Canada Post’s “final” offers.
At the National level, the National Executive Board is unanimous in its recommendation to reject the offers. The vast majority of your elected Union representatives from across the country also agree: the Employer’s May 28 offers do not meet our needs and must be rejected.
Friday July 11 2025
We have heard that some members are unhappy with the overtime ban strike activity, so we want to help clarify the situation. Your National Executive Board (NEB) decided on this action after hearing feedback about loss of income in the 2024 strike, other input, and debate about strategy. While every member does not work overtime, taking this action means every member will still receive their regular pay. The negotiations demands ratified by members include staffing of positions where overtime and temporary hours are extreme or abusive. This includes adding more permanent positions in Group 1 and properly building routes in Group 2.

Take one look at our collective agreements and you will see what we have gained by being united and supporting each other.
In the 1960s, male workers supported the struggle for equal pay for female workers in the same classification. We were successful in 1970.

It is with great disappointment that we received yesterday a “bottom-line” decision from the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) dismissing the Unfair Labour Practice (ULP) that we filed on June 3rd, 2025. This “bottom-line” decision was issued by the CIRB given the upcoming votes and the CIRB will issue full reasons at a later date.
Monday July 7 2025
As per our previous bulletin, CUPW members continue to raise serious concerns about the email sign-up process being conducted by Canada Post on behalf of the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB). According to the CIRB, this is being done:
“To ensure receipt of your PIN necessary to vote, by email, the Board is requesting that everyone update their email address... The deadline to update your email address is Monday, July 7, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (ET).”
The Union has asked for an extension, but we do not yet know if one will be granted. We are concerned that Canada Post is focused on speed rather than ensuring members get access to vote.
Friday July 4 2025
CUPW members have always had a voice. Canada Post is acting like you don’t by saying this vote provides you with an opportunity to have a voice. But this forced vote is an attack against CUPW’s right and ability to represent you and it violates our long-standing democratic processes that were created by CUPW members just like you.
Thursday July 3 2025
Yesterday July 2, hearings for our unfair labour practice complaint against Canada Post started at the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB). Hearings continued today, July 3.
Our complaint is under sections 94 (1) and 97 (1) of the Canada Labour Code. Yesterday, we brought evidence to the CIRB to show that Canada Post has chosen to bargain directly with members and undermine the Union’s exclusive bargaining rights, all while trying to discredit the Union’s reputation.
