Support Postal Banking - Download and Sign the Petition

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.

CUPW members have always had a voice. Canada Post is acting like you don’t by saying this vote provides you with an opportunity to have a voice. But this forced vote is an attack against CUPW’s right and ability to represent you and it violates our long-standing democratic processes that were created by CUPW members just like you.

Yesterday July 2, hearings for our unfair labour practice complaint against Canada Post started at the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB). Hearings continued today, July 3.
Our complaint is under sections 94 (1) and 97 (1) of the Canada Labour Code. Yesterday, we brought evidence to the CIRB to show that Canada Post has chosen to bargain directly with members and undermine the Union’s exclusive bargaining rights, all while trying to discredit the Union’s reputation.

On June 30 1981, CUPW members from sea to sea to sea went on a nationwide strike. One of the main issues in the strike was a maternity leave top up –or paid maternity leave so that women would not lose money when they took leave to have children.

We have received a number of concerns from members who are trying to update their email addresses for the so-called final offer vote. It has only been one day since we received that directive from the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB).

Canada Post says its wage offer provides for a pay increase of 6% in the first year followed by increases of 3%, 2% and 2% in subsequent years. CUPW says CPC’s offer for the first year does not come close to being a pay increase of 6%. Who is telling the truth?

Today, June 20th, 2025, we had our first meeting with the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to discuss details of the upcoming government-imposed vote on Canada Post’s May 28th, 2025 final offers for both postal bargaining units. The meeting was virtual and hosted by the CIRB and lasted about one and a half hours.
This meeting was scheduled for preliminary discussions to address some aspects of the process regarding the way the vote would be conducted. The subject identified by the CIRB to be on the agenda were as follows

In its efforts to convince postal workers to accept its so called “best and final offer”, Canada Post claims to have dropped many of its original proposals for rollbacks. It says it no longer has plans to put all new employees on defined contribution pensions. It says its proposals will not end route ownership for letter carriers and RSMCs. It says it is not attacking job security. It even says it is no longer demanding higher premiums for retiree benefits.
What it does not say is that it has plans to bring every one of these rollbacks back to the negotiating table.
Tuesday June 17 2025
On June 12, Minister of Jobs and Families Patty Hajdu granted Canada Post’s request and chose to force a vote on the Employer’s “best and final offers” for both postal bargaining units. Once again, the Government has stepped into our bargaining process, attacking our rights and taking the Employer’s side. We didn’t ask for this fight, but we are ready to face it.
