Statement from CUPW Regarding COVID-19 at Gateway Facility

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is aware that numerous members have tested positive for COVID-19 at the Gateway facility in the Peel Region of Ontario.

We understand that many of our members are worried about their health and safety. We are currently investigating, and are in contact with Canada Post Corporation and public health authorities. Peel Public Health is currently conducting rapid testing at the facility.

From the beginning of the pandemic, postal workers have been on the front line, helping people stay home and flatten the curve, and our priority continues to be the health and safety of our members.
