Summer is late this year. With a few exceptions across the country, where they have experienced brief periods of heat, the hot weather is overdue. However, we must not regard this situation as the norm and disregard the eventual heat waves that will inevitably occur in the weeks to come. In order to be well prepared, be aware of the dangers that a heat wave can impose.
Tuesday May 10 2022

Tuesday April 19 2022
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 “Work Shouldn’t Hurt: Choosing Health and Safety as a Fundamental Right and Principle at Work”.
Friday April 1 2022
Arbitration on CUPW’s grievance against Canada Post Corporation’s mandatory vaccination practice continued March 21 and 22, 2022.

Canada Post Corporation has advised CUPW of an intention to discontinue access to High-Risk Leave provisions for members starting February 21, 2022. The Corporation advised members in writing in January; some members may have already received a letter. CPC’s position is that members who have a condition preventing them from coming back to work should apply for other types of leave. CUPW disagrees with the Corporation’s intent to unilaterally cancel the leave and recommends that members who may be affected file grievances, both for the cancellation of the High-Risk Leave and/or the denial of other forms of leave.
Thursday February 3 2022

One affidavit was from the undersigned, one from our expert witness, one from our National President, Jan Simpson, and there are seven other affidavits from members who have experienced hardship because of the vaccination practice.

Sisters, Brothers, Friends,
This moment is crucial in our struggle. Canada Post, supported by the Federal Government, is trying to weaken our Union and diminish our bargaining power. On June 12, the Minister of Jobs and Families, Patty Hajdu, took the unprecedented step of forcing us to vote on Canada Post’s so-called “best and final” offers. This action bypasses the bargaining demands that you put forward and ratified, disregards your representation by the negotiation committees, and undermines the very foundation of free and fair collective bargaining.
Thursday July 17 2025
This round of bargaining is not just about wages or benefits; it’s about protecting the very future of our work. Group 1 workers need to know what’s at stake.
