    We have been informed that the CUPW Life Insurance Plan booklet contains inaccurate information. The “Free Basic Coverage” chart on page 10 of the booklet states that the basic spousal insurance is $8,000. The correct amount is $6,000. The basic life insurance coverage for children is $4,000. The chart indicates $3,000.

    With heavy rain in Eastern Canada and a holiday season devoid of its usual white carpet, the end of 2023 promised a mild winter. However, as we enter 2024, extreme cold is taking the Prairies and the West by surprise. Unfortunately, climate change is becoming more apparent each year, underscoring the urgent need for strong environmental commitments from governments. All the more so as these realities become increasingly harsh for outdoor workers.

    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.
