On April 27, at the meeting of the National Joint Health and Safety Committee, the Corporation once again invited CUPW to take part in its virtual health and safety conference scheduled in October.

This year, some regions have already experienced heatwaves very early in the spring. Some northern regions have also experienced heat waves lasting several days, which is rather unusual. Wildfires and air quality have been on the news across the country since early spring and will be until the end of Summer, according to experts in the field.

Canada is on fire. Forest fires have already burned thousands of hectares across Western Canada and Nova Scotia and are currently burning through parts of Ontario and Quebec. Much of the country is expected to be under high or extreme risk for fires this summer according to federal government officials. Smoked plumes have deteriorated air quality in many communities making physical work even more difficult for outdoor workers in these areas.

After Alberta, Nova Scotia is now grappling with the largest forest fire in its history. It has already burned over 20,000 hectares of land and is threatening New Brunswick as well.
In the Halifax area, where a state of emergency has been declared, nearly 200 homes have been damaged by the fire to date, 150 of which are completely destroyed. Other surrounding municipalities, such as Tantallon, Shelburne and Pubnico, are also affected by these devastating fires.

Forest fires are raging again this year, and once again, Alberta’s resilience is being tested. Reports estimate that as of May 7, 122,000 hectares have been lost. More fires have been reported, like in Saskatchewan, British Columbia, also in the Northwest Territories, where roughly 25,000 residents have already been evacuated. The surrounding communities are currently on high alert, fearing the worst.
Tuesday April 18 2023
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”.

During a recent audit of the employer-provided database, CUPW found that 1754 routes with RMBs were not using the reaching device for delivery to RMBs.
Yet some of these routes have actually been using the reaching device for a long time. If the system indicates that the tool has not been implemented, it means that these routes are not receiving the proper compensation.
Is this your case?

Once again this year, cold weather is knocking at our door. This fall, it has been present and felt earlier in the Prairie and Pacific regions. Although late in most of eastern Canada, extreme cold spells will soon be a reality that we will have to deal with.

Effective December 19, letter carriers in Montreal and Québec City will no longer have to deliver the Trans-Continental neighbourhood mail in its current form.

The Québec City local was not consulted prior to start of the delivery.

Today, May 28, Canada Post presented what it calls its “best and final” offers for both the RSMC and Urban bargaining units.
