September 24 marks the Global Climate Strike. This year, organizers are drawing attention to the multiple and overlapping socio-economic crises – racism, sexism, ableism, and class inequality – that intersect and worsen the climate crisis. Organizers are calling on us to “uproot the system” that privileges the rich and powerful at the expense of the rest of us.

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.

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?
Friday June 20 2025
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
Thursday June 19 2025
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.

Once again, the Government has chosen to take Canada Post’s side. Postal workers need to stand ready to defend their rights and turn these offers down. When the time comes, members need to just VOTE NO! Here are 10 reasons why
Thursday June 12 2025
Today, June 12, the Minister of Jobs and Families, Patty Hajdu, has chosen to accept Canada Post’s request to force a vote on the Employer’s May 28 offers for both CUPW bargaining units.
The Minister’s decision is yet another assault on our collective bargaining rights, just the latest we have faced in a matter of just months. In December, former Minister of Labour, Steven MacKinnon used section 107 to put our legal strike on “pause,” and section 108 to strike an Industrial Inquiry Commission (IIC).
Tuesday June 10 2025
Yesterday, June 9, our negotiating committees spoke with federal mediators to hear Canada Post’s response to our proposed Terms of Reference for a binding interest arbitration process. Instead of working toward a balanced framework, Canada Post made it clear it is not serious about meaningful arbitration as was requested by the Minister for Jobs and Families, Patty Hajdu. The Employer told us it sees no hope of agreeing on Terms of Reference, refusing to engage in any real discussion.
Friday June 6 2025
Today, the negotiating committees continued to work on drafting the Terms of Reference for a binding interest arbitration process to settle new collective agreements for both postal bargaining units.
Thursday June 5 2025
Today, June 5, the negotiating committees returned to the bargaining table. With the help of federal mediators, the Union is ready to bring these negotiations to a successful conclusion. Our goal has remained the same from day one: to reach new collective agreements that meet the needs of postal workers, while ensuring a strengthened public post office.
