    Friday July 16 2021
    Over the last 18 months, we’ve faced some of the biggest challenges of our lives. As the world slowly begins to reopen post-COVID-19, it’s important to remember that the pandemic isn’t over yet, and that so much remains uncertain.
    Thursday July 15 2021

    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.
    Friday July 9 2021
    Thanks to the mobilization of CUPW, the labour movement, our allies and the support of hundreds of municipalities, CPC is finally planning to expand into financial services.
    Tuesday July 6 2021
    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.

    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.

    We are all taking stock of the depravity that colonialism has wreaked on our Indigenous brothers, sisters and comrades, with the latest revelations of mass graves of Indigenous children found on the grounds of residential schools throughout the country.

    Updating labour policy to ensure that gig workers are given full and equal rights under the law is a pillar that best ensures the vibrancy of the Ontario economy. Our Union has fought for the rights of gig economy and other precarious workers; we are well-placed to state the case for changes to policy and practices that will provide these workers with fair pay and protections. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, now is the moment to opt for justice for frontline workers who are billed “heroes” but who lack the basic protections of regularized employment status, benefits and fair labour practices.
