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.

As bargaining continues, and Canada Post steps up its attack on our rights, CUPW negotiators are doing everything in their power to stand up and fight back!

To show our support, we invite members to purchase a t-shirt.

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21, we celebrate Indigenous cultures, traditions, and wisdom. It is also the summer solstice, a time of renewal and connection. As we try to survive a broken world, the summer Solstice is an opportune time to reflect on the possibilities for a better, more sustainable home. A key to our wellness is to multiply connections with each other and also, with the natural world.

Wildfire season is early again this year. Fires are already raging in northern British Columbia and Alberta, and it is very likely that many communities will have to be evacuated over the coming months. In some part of Canada, the winter was mild with very little precipitation, increasing the risk of outbreaks. Therefore, we must once again be vigilant and ready to take the necessary measures to ensure a safe environment for everyone.

Following Arbitrator Burkett’s decision on May 25, 2023, the parties agreed to a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) as well as amendments to Chapter 7 of the LCRMS.

This aspect is also covered in Arbitrator Burkett’s decision.

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