Our allies are working with us across the country to put postal services front and centre. Over the past few months, they’ve put out leaflets and petitions, and even gone on a cross-country tour to put pressure on Canada Post and the government. With their help, we’ve been able to gain some of the strongest public support in years on key issues like pay equity, postal banking and pensions.

Please bring your friends and family and join us in Montreal.

At the beginning of negotiations, we presented our demands of special relevance to Groups 3 and 4 members. These included the creation of a new classification for heavy duty vehicle mechanics, protections from the use of Maximo for the purposes of discipline, and a special pay adjustment for all Group 3 and 4 members. For their part Canada Post management submitted a number of demands concerning the work of Groups 3 and 4 members. Most significantly CPC proposed that all plant maintenance workers be scheduled for twelve (12) hour shifts and all members would be required to work on every weekend. Also CPC proposed new job descriptions and statements of qualifications and the elimination of the apprenticeship program.
