In the wake of a number of murders committed by police in the United States and Canada, CUPW joins an ever-important number of voices that are calling to DEFUND THE POLICE.

Over the years, the Union’s top priority has been and continues to be to ensure that temporary employees have access to regular employment and that these employees, as well as part-time employees, have access to regular full-time positions. This not only ensures that they can move up the salary ladder based on their length of service as regular employees, but also gives them full rights to all benefits including, the extended health care plan and the defined benefit pension plan, to name a few.

The Union argued to Arbitrator MacPherson that regular employees of the Urban Unit as of the date of her decision should have full job security, meaning a limited radius of 40 kilometres for relocation if they are declared surplus. Canada Post wanted to remove this protection from the collective agreement by obtaining a letter of intent granting this protection, but only until the expiry date of the collective agreement, January 31, 2022. In addition, Canada Post asked the arbitrator to allow it not to fill vacant positions in Group 2 when a surplus is anticipated.

Job Retention is new for RSMCs. Since RSMCs are now paid the derived hourly rate of Letter Carriers, there could be an incentive for Canada Post to contract out bargaining unit work. CUPW needed to ensure the work that RSMCs perform every day is protected.

At a time when many workers are losing job security protections, CUPW has been successful in securing job security for RSMCs! CUPW was clear from the outset, to both the Arbitrator and the Corporation, that this was one of our key demands for RSMCs for this round of bargaining.
