Let’s Tell Canada Post to Negotiate Fair Collective Agreements - Media Advisory -
OTTAWA - For nearly a year, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has been bargaining with Canada Post 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.
