Our school system relies on these workers – meaning all working families rely on them. They are primarily women, and they have seen shrinking real wages for too long. More than half of them need to work a second job just to make ends meet. They care for and support our children’s education, and these conditions are unacceptable.

N00-22-00004 (URBAN) / N00-22-R0004 (RSMC) - In August 2022, Canada Post consulted with CUPW to modify its employee recognition program, better known as the “Bravo Recognition Program”.

Among other things, the program violates CUPW’s right to act as the exclusive bargaining agent.

We thank the many members that applied to offer their considerable strengths and skills to the campaign and look forward to building up our capacity to fight the boss, together.

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.

Tuesday August 5 2025
To all CUPW members,
Thank you for showing up, for standing together, and for participating in the government forced vote. Regardless of how you voted, your participation was an act of solidarity and strength. And for those who voted to reject the final offers, your decision sent a powerful message: “We know our worth, and we deserve better”.
