The National Day of Mourning, held annually on April 28, is dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives or suffered injury or illness at work. This annual event was initiated by the labour movement 38 years ago to increase awareness of on-the-job injuries and fatal workplace accidents. This day of remembrance was officially recognized by the federal government in 1991, more than six years after it was launched by the Canadian Labour Congress in 1985. This year’s theme is “Workers’ Resources, Rights and Victories”.

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.

Canada Post announced that the Corporation and its financial partner, TD Bank, have “decided to pause the MyMoney Loan application indefinitely.”

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.

There has been an important development in our ongoing efforts to secure negotiated collective agreements for Urban and RSMC members. In addition to the work being done through the Inquiry Commission, a parallel three-day negotiation process will also be taking place on January 15, 16, and 17. William Kaplan, who was appointed by the Minister of Labour Steven MacKinnon to carry out the Commission, will be taking on the role of Mediator.

In our recent bulletins, we have talked a lot about sections 107 and 108 of the Canada Labour Code. These were the sections of the Code that the Government invoked to end our strike and force us to return to work last December. Unlike the back-to-work legislation we have been subject to in the past, the section 107 order was not debated or voted on in Parliament. The Liberal government made this decision alone.
Wednesday January 8 2025
The beginning of 2025 is marked by a period of extreme cold across the country. After a hectic autumn at Canada Post, and after having their right to strike denied by Minister MacKinnon in mid-December, postal workers were greeted back to work by milder weather during the holiday period. Mother Nature may have a few pleasant surprises in store for us during the winter of 2025, but we need to be prepared for the cold temperatures ahead and take all the necessary steps to work safely.

While the hearings will take place in Ottawa, proceedings will be livestreamed for wider viewing. Mr. Kaplan is due to publish his final report on May 15.

The Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) ordered postal workers to return to work December 17, 2024, in a clear violation of our Charter rights. We want to praise all postal workers across the country who made huge sacrifices, holding strong on picket lines for good jobs, fair wages, and a strong public post office.

This January, we are celebrating the Tamil Heritage Month in Canada. It is a special time to commemorate and value the significant contributions of Canadians of Tamil origin to our country. Tamil Canadians have positively impacted Canada's cultural, economic, social, and political landscape.
Monday December 16 2024
After almost five weeks of a nationwide strike, the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), under the direction of the Minister of Labour, has stripped the right to strike from postal workers. Legal strike action ends at 8:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, but the fight goes on.
Monday December 16 2024
Following the minister of Labour’s order on December 13, 2024, the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) rendered its decision late last night. The minister ordered the CIRB to “Assess the likelihood of the parties reaching negotiated agreements by December 31, 2024, in the current circumstances.” If the CIRB was to determine that agreements were unlikely, it was to “order the Canada Post Corporation and all employees represented by the CUPW RSMC and CUPW UPO to resume and continue their operation and duties until May 22, 2025.”
