The National Executive Board has passed a motion to reimburse Locals for half the cost of providing N95 or equivalent masks for members to wear at work. Following the recent conflicts between members who wish to provide their own N95 masks and their supervisors, CUPW has decided to be more proactive about face coverings. We must continue to do all we can to prevent spread of the Coronavirus-19 in our workplaces.
Wednesday January 12 2022
Once again this year, as winter has only just begun, the extreme cold weather has been felt earlier, especially in Western Canada during the
Wednesday December 15 2021
Retraction: Canada Post Corporation advised CUPW today (December 15, 2021) that it has revised its plans after discussions with CUPW, and will not end high-risk leave on January 22, 2022 as originally planned. Bulletin 326 (December 14, 2021) regarding high-risk leave is no longer accurate.
Wednesday December 15 2021
Since the arbitrator did not issue a cease-and-desist order (similar to an injunction) as per our application regarding Canada Post Corporation's vaccination practice, the next step is for an arbitrator to hear the merit of the case by way of priority.
Wednesday December 8 2021
All members actively at work were required to attest to vaccination status by November 26 or be placed on leave without pay. This is an update for those who did attest. Canada Post Corporation has established a national safety audit and compliance team to perform random spot-checks. You may be contacted and asked for proof of the status you attested to.
Friday December 3 2021
This is a follow-up from our bulletin dated November 25 announcing that our Cease and Desist application against Canada Post’s mandatory vaccination practice was denied. As per the jurisprudence, in order for a Cease and Desist to be granted, the Union must meet all of the five (5) criteria specified in clause 9.93 of the Urban collective agreement.
Thursday November 25 2021
Arbitrator Burkett did not grant the cease and desist order against Canada Post’s vaccination practice. Due to the short timeline in the implementation of the practice, the arbitrator advised the parties of his decision, and will send his reasoning and the full decision at a later date.
Wednesday November 24 2021
CUPW’s arbitration hearing against Canada Post’s vaccination practice was held today.
Thursday November 18 2021
CUPW has filed a cease and desist application against Canada Post’s vaccination practice which will be heard by Arbitrator Burkett on November 24, 2021. We have also filed national grievances against the practice. CUPW supports voluntary COVID-19 vaccination, and is proud that many of our members have been vaccinated. However, CUPW is concerned that the mandatory vaccination practice goes farther than required.
Wednesday November 3 2021
This bulletin is to give more details on how to attest to your vaccination status, and what to do next. While this is a Canada Post Corporation practice, not CUPW’s, we are doing our best to prepare members to make informed choices. These are the latest details as provided by CPC to CUPW on October 29, 2021.

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.

Wednesday April 30 2025
The results from yesterday's federal election are in, and we now know that the next government will be led by Prime Minister Mark Carney of the Liberal Party.
Few could have predicted this result just a few months ago. But a trade war with the US and threats to annex Canada upended the campaign and completely changed the political landscape.

On Wednesday April 30, your Negotiators are returning to the bargaining table in Ottawa to continue their efforts to secure good collective agreements for both the Urban Postal Operation (UPO) and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers (RSMCs) bargaining units.

It is with deep sadness I must convey news of the passing of Darrell Tingley, former CUPW President and lifelong union activist.
From a very early age Brother Tingley committed his life to further the struggle of postal workers and the Canadian and international working class.
Friday April 25 2025
The past several months have been very busy for the Union. And in the month ahead, there is still more to come: a federal election, the Industrial Inquiry Commission (IIC) report, Canada Post’s 2024 annual report, and the end of the extension of our collective agreements. We know members have lots of questions about what is going to happen, especially after the extensions of our collective agreements.

The CUPW child care fund has been working with communities across Canada to create affordable, high quality non profit and public child care for nearly 30 years. From the beginning, the push for universal child care has been interwoven in the development of child care projects and the funding of research that informs and shapes policy.

April 28 is the National Day of Mourning. A day to honour and remember those who have lost their lives, suffered injuries, or become ill because of their work. On this day, we reflect and reaffirm our commitment to fight for workplace health and safety.

Founded in 2011 by Paul and Raven Lacerte, the Moose Hide Campaign began as a grassroots initiative along British Columbia’s Highway of Tears—a region marked by the tragic disappearance and murder of many Indigenous women and girls. The campaign encourages men and boys, alongside all Canadians, to commit to ending gender-based violence.
Tuesday April 15 2025
The April 28 election is happening as we are engaged in a fight for the future of our post office and our jobs. Canada Post is pushing for drastic changes which could lead to job cuts and negatively impact our communities. Canada Post’s sole shareholder is the Government. Who is in government matters. We represent a big voting bloc which could have an impact on election results – particularly in tight races. We can make the future of our public post office an election issue.
Friday April 4 2025
Now that hearings for the Industrial Inquiry Commission are complete, we'd like to remind members of some important dates in the weeks ahead. Commissioner Kaplan’s final report to the Minister of Labour is due May 15. His report will give the Minister recommendations about how to resolve the issues in dispute in bargaining. It may also include recommendations about the structure and operations of Canada Post. We made our position clear throughout the hearings that these types of questions must only be dealt with in a fully public mandate review.
