Under the tentative agreement, pensionable, hourly wages will increase by 2% per year. There will be a one-time, non-pensionable lump sum paid in the first year.

The Appendix “T” Working Committee continues to meet regularly with CPC to discuss expanding Canada Post’s financial services offerings to the public. Since our last bulletin, we have made progress on several fronts...

As we transition to a post-pandemic world, the importance of income and job security has never been greater. The pandemic resulted in tremendous changes to the courier and postal delivery industry. Parcels increased dramatically while letter mail, advertising mail, and householders declined. Not all the new parcel business went to traditional delivery companies like Canada Post, Purolator, UPS, FedEx, etc. New delivery networks, using companies like Uber expanded, while Amazon started delivering its own parcels in some areas. No one knows what the post pandemic world will look like. Will parcel deliveries decline as shoppers return to the stores? Will advertising mail return? We do not know. But we can say that with the new tentative agreements, our job and income security will not only continue, it will improve.

The tentative collective agreements provide many important elements for all RSMCs and Urban operations workers. No one can predict what the economic situation will be in 2022. Will CPC once again be profitable? Will it continue to lose millions of dollars? No one knows. But with the tentative agreements, members have guaranteed wage increases, improved job security, diversified public postal services, and stability and progress during uncertain times.
