    Forest fires are raging again this year, especially in the western part of the country. The Town of Lytton has been the hardest hit, with almost all of its buildings completely destroyed. The surrounding communities are currently on high alert, fearing the worst.

    At the National Joint Health and Safety Committee (NJHSC) meeting on May 11, 2021, management presented a new initiative: a program to reward employees for safe driving behaviour while operating a CPC motor vehicle. Management mentioned that they will be calling on supervisors to identify various driving behaviors that need to be highlighted, such as wearing a seatbelt, respecting the speed limit, or any other behaviour associated with the safe operation of a motor vehicle.

    Sisters, Brothers: This year, the heatwaves have come much earlier in some areas of the country. This is certainly welcomed with great optimism following the dark period we went through last winter with the virus and its more contagious variants. But while much of our attention is focused on COVID-19, we still have to face various other challenging conditions, including heatwaves looming on the horizon.

    Wednesday May 12 2021
    We now know that local management, as well as a small group of CUPW members were involved in the organization and participation of at least two social gatherings in postal facilities in the GTA. These gatherings have exposed serious compliance issues of the many health and safety measures in place at all facilities. The current outcomes are disastrous, have resulted in workers becoming very ill, and have contributed to further spread of this highly contagious COVID-19 virus.

    This is Canadian Mental health week. Yet anxiety, depression and other sorts of mental disorders are with us every day of the year. This is no less so, with this pandemic which continues to plague the working class, especially frontline workers.

    The National Day of Mourning, held annually on April 28, is dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives or suffered injury or illness on the job. This annual event was initiated by the labour movement 37 years ago to increase awareness of on-the-job injuries and fatal workplace accidents. This day of remembrance was officially recognized by the federal government in 1991, six years after it was launched by the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) in 1985.

    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.

    The results from yesterday's federal election are in, and we now know that the next government will be led by Prime Minister Mark Carney of the Liberal Party. Few could have predicted this result just a few months ago. But a trade war with the US and threats to annex Canada upended the campaign and completely changed the political landscape.

    On Wednesday April 30, your Negotiators are returning to the bargaining table in Ottawa to continue their efforts to secure good collective agreements for both the Urban Postal Operation (UPO) and Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers (RSMCs) bargaining units.

    It is with deep sadness I must convey news of the passing of Darrell Tingley, former CUPW President and lifelong union activist. From a very early age Brother Tingley committed his life to further the struggle of postal workers and the Canadian and international working class.
    Friday April 25 2025
    The past several months have been very busy for the Union. And in the month ahead, there is still more to come: a federal election, the Industrial Inquiry Commission (IIC) report, Canada Post’s 2024 annual report, and the end of the extension of our collective agreements. We know members have lots of questions about what is going to happen, especially after the extensions of our collective agreements.

    The CUPW child care fund has been working with communities across Canada to create affordable, high quality non profit and public child care for nearly 30 years.

    April 28 is the National Day of Mourning. A day to honour and remember those who have lost their lives, suffered injuries, or become ill because of their work. On this day, we reflect and reaffirm our commitment to fight for workplace health and safety.

    Founded in 2011 by Paul and Raven Lacerte, the Moose Hide Campaign began as a grassroots initiative along British Columbia’s Highway of Tears—a region marked by the tragic disappearance and murder of many Indigenous women and girls. The campaign encourages men and boys, alongside all Canadians, to commit to ending gender-based violence.

    The April 28 election is happening as we are engaged in a fight for the future of our post office and our jobs. Canada Post is pushing for drastic changes which could lead to job cuts and negatively impact our communities. Canada Post’s sole shareholder is the Government. Who is in government matters. We represent a big voting bloc which could have an impact on election results – particularly in tight races. We can make the future of our public post office an election issue.

    Now that hearings for the Industrial Inquiry Commission are complete, we'd like to remind members of some important dates in the weeks ahead. Commissioner Kaplan’s final report to the Minister of Labour is due May 15. His report will give the Minister recommendations about how to resolve the issues in dispute in bargaining. It may also include recommendations about the structure and operations of Canada Post. We made our position clear throughout the hearings that these types of questions must only be dealt with in a fully public mandate review.

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