    In a wide-ranging interview on Tuesday night, Jean-Yves Duclos, the Minister responsible for Canada Post, who heads up the Department of Public Service and Procurement Canada, discussed our ongoing strike and the future of Canada Post with the CBC’s Power and Politics show host, Catherine Cullen. The Minister told Ms. Cullen that the service first mandate “will not change” and that includes “serving every Canadian where they live including northern and remote areas.” He also said that parcel delivery was increasing “at a very high speed” which is “good news” for Canada Post.

    Today, November 15, Canada Post informed the Union that as of 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, the collective agreements for both the Urban Operations and Rural Suburban Mail Carriers (RSMC) bargaining units no longer apply. Today is the day you find out what Canada Post would do if there was no Union or collective agreement to protect you.

    On the morning of Tuesday, November 12, your National Executive Board issued a 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post for both the Rural Suburban Mail Carriers (RSMC) and Urban Operations bargaining units.

    Wednesday November 13 2024
    With the Union issuing a 72-hour strike notice and the Employer issuing a 72-hour lockout notice, members should be aware that Canada Post has stated that as of November 15 at 8 a.m. ET, the collective agreements will no longer apply, and the Corporation will change working conditions. Nonetheless, all postal workers have basic rights under various federal legislation...
    Tuesday November 12 2024
    On November 12, 2024, Canada Post served the Union with a 72- hour notice of lockout. This notice takes effect as of November 15, 2024, at 8:00 am (EST). The Corporation claims to be committed to reaching negotiated collective agreements, but its actions show otherwise.
    Tuesday November 12 2024
    Today, your National Executive Board issued what is known as a “72-hour strike notice” to Canada Post for both the RSMC and Urban bargaining units. This means that we will be legally allowed to strike as of Friday, November 15 if negotiated settlements have not been reached. Although we’ve given notice to Canada Post, the National Executive Board has not yet determined whether job action will take place immediately. It will depend on Canada Post’s actions at the bargaining table in the days to come.

    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.

    On Thursday, CUPW rallied at Canada Post Headquarters in Ottawa. They were joined by allies in the labour and social justice movements. Standing in solidarity, they sent a strong message to the Crown Corporation: We’re ready to continue negotiations, but we can’t bargain with ourselves. Where is Canada Post?
    Wednesday November 27 2024
    For almost two weeks, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has been on strike against Canada Post fighting for fair wages, safe working conditions, the right for all workers to retire with dignity, and the expansion of public postal services for all communities. But rather than make an effort to bargain good collective agreements that meet the needs of postal workers and the public, Canada Post has dug in its heels.
    Wednesday November 27 2024
    Canada Post’s latest information update of November 26 describing what is going on at the bargaining table is full of half-truths and outright deception. First and foremost, CUPW left the meetings Tuesday since we cannot proceed without Canada Post’s negotiators. They had to go back to speak to the Executive Board of Canada Post for further direction.
    Tuesday November 26 2024
    Over the weekend, Canada Post informed the public and CUPW members, through the media, that CUPW Negotiators had spent Saturday at the bargaining table talking about cleaners working inside Canada Post facilities. This is an outright misrepresentation.
    Monday November 25 2024
    On November 22, Canada Post released its financial results for the 3rd quarter of 2024. For the three months ending in September 2024, the Corporation reported a loss from operations of $313 million. Overall revenue was down $15 million compared to the same time last year, as growing revenue from Neighbourhood Mail and Transaction Mail were not enough to offset lower parcel volumes.
    Monday November 25 2024
    In several regions across the country, Canada Post has been calling CUPW members to lay them off. While some are saying it is temporary, we’ve heard stories that it may be more permanent. These types of phone calls are merely a scare tactic by Management. We urge members not to panic if you receive such a call. Instead, take note of what the management representative says and then request a record of employment and estimated date of return in order to allow you to apply for EI benefits.
