Over 10, 000 people - including thousands of children – have been killed since violence began in Israel and Palestine on October 7, 2023, and the death toll continues to rise as the war enters its second month. CUPW condemns the targeting, kidnapping and killing of innocent civilians and calls on the Canadian Government to demand an immediate ceasefire. 
Friday November 10 2023
The CUPW will be supporting Child Care Now’s Day of Action for Child Care on November 30th, 2023. Families across Canada are crying out for access to early learning and child care.
Thursday November 9 2023
CUPW is pleased to welcome employees of Maintair Aviation Services Ltd. working at Thunder Bay International Airport in ground handling services, including baggage handling, ramp coordination, and the grooming and cleaning of planes to our Union!
Friday October 20 2023
CUPW is pleased to welcome Ebus drivers in Kamloops and Vancouver to our Union! Many of these new members are former Greyhound bus drivers who found work with Ebus after Greyhound left Western Canada in 2018. These workers are being paid the same rate as they were in 2016, when they were represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union. The skyrocketing cost of living in BC has made it difficult for workers to make ends meet.
Friday October 20 2023
Deadline to apply is extended until October 25, 2023 - 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 September 29 2023
The third National Truth and Reconciliation Day will take place on September 30. As one of the 94 calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the purpose of this day is to commemorate and honour the lives of Indigenous people killed by the State and the Church.
Friday September 22 2023
We were worried members may have missed the important launch of the CUPW Disability Portal. And we want you to know about this important initiative of the CUPW Child Care Fund. The portal was launched on December 3, 2022, on International Day for Persons with Disabilities.
Thursday September 21 2023
The Building Worker Power campaign of CUPW is currently seeking a CUPW member in each of the Montreal and Ontario regions to assist with the campaign and serve as a Regional Organizer (RO) in the Montreal and Ontario Regions.
Thursday September 21 2023
Fall Equinox takes place Saturday, September 23 this year. The Equinox is when the sun is directly above the equator, making daytime and night-time of equal length. It therefore marks a balance.
Thursday July 20 2023
The Front Commun Intersyndical was originally formed in 1972 to generate union solidarity in public sector bargaining with the Bourassa government. The Front Commun led the Quebec general strike of 1972, the biggest strike action in Canadian history, vastly improving conditions for public sector workers in the province.

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.

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.
Tuesday April 15 2025
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.
Thursday March 27 2025
Postal workers are well aware that the planet is getting hotter. More and more, we are facing extreme events - such as an increasing number of wildfires with their toxic smoke, lethal heat domes and atmospheric rivers bringing more rain, more coastal storms and more flooding. But it’s children who are most at risk.
Monday March 24 2025
A federal election has now been called for April 28, 2025. Although the Canadian Union of Postal Workers does not endorse any party, we will be putting pressure on candidates from all parties to commit to defending our public post office and good stable jobs.
Tuesday March 18 2025
On Thursday, March 20, CUPW will join U.S. postal workers in a day of action to defend the public post office. The United States Postal Service (USPS) is facing one of the most serious threats in its history. Postal worker jobs and unions, and the USPS’s public service mission are under assault by the Trump administration that seems to have one end goal in mind: privatization.

CUPW launched its postal banking campaign with a giant inflatable piggy bank in downtown Ottawa.
