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.

Labour Day is more than just a day off work; it’s a testament to the power of collective action. It’s a reminder of the countless workers who, through sweat, determination, and sometimes great personal sacrifice, have fought for the rights we often take for granted today. The eight-hour workday, weekends, health and safety standards, and the right to organize— all of these hard-won gains were achieved through the tireless efforts of workers united in a common cause.

We felt it necessary to respond to Mr. Ettinger’s misleading "Dear Colleague" letter released this week. Mr. Ettinger is either misinformed or doesn't fully grasp the situation; this crisis can be attributed to decisions made by his management group to undermine our rights and seize greater control.

Friday August 2 2024
Today – Friday August 2 – the Union filed two “Notices of Dispute” with the Minister of Labour, Steven MacKinnon. The National Executive Board did not take this decision lightly. The parties have been bargaining since November, but little progress has been made on the Union's key issues. The Employer has given us no sign it will drop any of its major rollbacks or demands for a widening two-tier workforce. Additionally, the employer has not yet made a wage offer.
Thursday July 25 2024
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has dismissed CUPW’s constitutional challenge against the 2018 back-to-work legislation that ended rotating strikes and imposed interest arbitration on members of our two largest bargaining units – Urban Operations and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers.

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