To all CUPW members,
Thank you for showing up, for standing together, and for participating in the government forced vote. Regardless of how you voted, your participation was an act of solidarity and strength. And for those who voted to reject the final offers, your decision sent a powerful message: “We know our worth, and we deserve better”.

In the midst of the ongoing postal strike, it’s easy to feel disheartened. The pressure of public opinion, financial strain, and relentless pushback can make even the most steadfast among us question this fight. But this is the time to pause and remember why this strike matters. This isn’t just about pay or benefits—it’s about fairness, dignity, and the recognition that the work you do is important to communities across the country.

Over the past few weeks, it has been an incredible experience visiting work floors and connecting with members. Hearing your experiences, concerns, and hopes for a better workplace has been encouraging. Our collective actions are truly making a difference, and the energy is evident as we continue to build momentum together.

We are just over a month into 2024, and it’s already been a busy year for CUPW. And it will only get busier!
Thursday September 28 2023
September has been a busy month. We finalized the program of demands for the 2023-2024 round of bargaining for Urban and RSCM units, and members have already begun voting to ratify them. You should have, or will soon receive, the Perspective magazine which includes the program of demands. Local ratification meetings are being held across the country over the next month and a half, and I encourage all members to attend your meeting and vote.

It’s been a hot summer for the planet and for the labour movement.
It seems like we are experiencing once in a lifetime weather events every month – from raging wildfires across the country, to tornadoes touching down in suburban neighbourhoods, and record flooding in the Maritimes – it’s heartbreaking to see so many communities lose so much and have to rebuild their lives.
Friday June 16 2023
It’s been just over a month since CUPW held its 27th National Convention in Toronto where delegates spent a week debating reports, resolutions and elected their leaders for the 2023-2027 term. I’d like to once again welcome and congratulate all newly elected union representatives and thank them for their service and dedication to CUPW.

June 27, 2021 marks 10 years since Stephen Harper’s Federal Conservative Government forced postal workers back to work, stripping us of our right to free and fair collective bargaining and our right to strike. Anniversaries are most often happy occasions, marked with celebrations and gifts. Typical 10-year anniversary gifts are metals or gemstones. But postal workers will mark the 2011 back-to-work legislation with collective determination and solidarity, and a vow to keep fighting for worker rights.

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.
