Sisters, Brothers, Friends,
This moment is crucial in our struggle. Canada Post, supported by the Federal Government, is trying to weaken our Union and diminish our bargaining power. On June 12, the Minister of Jobs and Families, Patty Hajdu, took the unprecedented step of forcing us to vote on Canada Post’s so-called “best and final” offers. This action bypasses the bargaining demands that you put forward and ratified, disregards your representation by the negotiation committees, and undermines the very foundation of free and fair collective bargaining.

We stand in solidarity with you as you bravely fight for your livelihoods and the future of Ontario and our communities. Fair pay, permanent jobs, reasonable workloads, and decent, affordable pensions should be standard for all LCBO workers.

I am so happy to tell you my news: When our son Basti was 3 years and 10 months old, he received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Global Developmental Delay (GDD). The beginning years presented major obstacles.

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Miller,
CUPW represents more than 55,000 workers across the country, the majority of which work for Canada Post as letter carriers, rural and suburban mail carriers, postal clerks, mail handlers and despatchers, technicians, mechanics, and electricians. We also represent couriers, delivery drivers, warehouse workers, cleaners, emergency medical dispatchers and other private sector workers.

On behalf of six Canadian labour unions representing over 2 million workers, we are writing to raise concern about the recent announcement by the Government of Canada to suspend funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the primary aid agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza and throughout the region. In the interest of safety and security for millions of Palestinians, we request that you reverse this decision.

We wanted to hear from members about their health benefits and other supports for families with children with disabilities. We wanted to know if the health benefits and other supports were in fact working for members and their families.

CUPW is the only union in North America to have bargained a Fund to support its members with their child care needs. It all began in the early 1980s when women postal workers demanded that their Union do something about their need for child care. In response CUPW began to raise the issue with Canada Post and in 1991 bargained the CUPW Child Care Fund (Fund).

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.

This round of bargaining is not just about wages or benefits; it’s about protecting the very future of our work. Group 1 workers need to know what’s at stake.
