Let’s Tell Canada Post to Negotiate Fair Collective Agreements
OTTAWA, ON, Nov. 6, 2024 /CNW/ – 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. Throughout this process, Canada Post has not dropped its proposed rollbacks and is asking for many of our major issues to be resolved through arbitration instead of at the bargaining table.
When unionized workers make gains, it brings widespread benefits to other workers and communities. Labour and union allies are showing up for postal workers this Thursday to let Canada Post and the federal government know that they support postal workers, and to demand that Canada Post come to the bargaining table with real solutions to help workers, the public post office, and the people we serve across the country.
