    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.

    A crucial part of Canada Post’s mandate as a Crown Corporation is financial self-sufficiency. Since it was founded in 1981, it has had more profitable years than losses and paid millions in taxes and dividends. But the industry has changed, and the decline in letter mail continues year after year. The letter mail monopoly no longer pays the bills.

    It has now been just over six months since the Union started bargaining with Canada Post. As always, trying to address all the issues our members face is taking time. The longer bargaining continues, the easier it is for rumours and misinformation to start spreading on the workfloor and on social media. Much of the gossip starts with management. Don’t fall into the trap!

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