During a recent audit of the employer-provided database, CUPW found that 1754 routes with RMBs were not using the reaching device for delivery to RMBs.
Yet some of these routes have actually been using the reaching device for a long time. If the system indicates that the tool has not been implemented, it means that these routes are not receiving the proper compensation.
Is this your case?

FURTHER REVISED - After having to cancel the Union Education Program (UEP) that was scheduled for October 2020 until March 2021, we are re-launching the UEP, in the hopes that the pandemic will be behind us and public health regulations will have been lifted. We have used this hiatus to revamp the curriculum so that it better reflects the context and issues of our post-pandemic world.
Tuesday February 15 2022

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.

Take one look at our collective agreements and you will see what we have gained by being united and supporting each other.
In the 1960s, male workers supported the struggle for equal pay for female workers in the same classification. We were successful in 1970.

It is with great disappointment that we received yesterday a “bottom-line” decision from the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) dismissing the Unfair Labour Practice (ULP) that we filed on June 3rd, 2025. This “bottom-line” decision was issued by the CIRB given the upcoming votes and the CIRB will issue full reasons at a later date.
Monday July 7 2025
As per our previous bulletin, CUPW members continue to raise serious concerns about the email sign-up process being conducted by Canada Post on behalf of the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB). According to the CIRB, this is being done:
“To ensure receipt of your PIN necessary to vote, by email, the Board is requesting that everyone update their email address... The deadline to update your email address is Monday, July 7, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (ET).”
The Union has asked for an extension, but we do not yet know if one will be granted. We are concerned that Canada Post is focused on speed rather than ensuring members get access to vote.
Friday July 4 2025
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.
Thursday July 3 2025
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.
Monday June 30 2025
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.
Friday June 27 2025
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).
Thursday June 26 2025
As you are aware, on June 12th, 2025, the Minister of Jobs and Families ordered the conduct of a vote on Canada Post’s final offers from May 28th, 2025 for the Urban and RSMC bargaining units and has directed that the CIRB be in charge of conducting said votes.
Thursday June 26 2025
Canada Post intends to attack our job security in upcoming rounds of bargaining.
They made this crystal clear in their submissions to the Industrial Inquiry Commission (IIC) chaired by William Kaplan. They are actively rolling out automation at work sites.
Monday June 23 2025
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?
