Postal Strike

CUPW pushing back on Canada Post statements

Nov 26, 2024 | 1:51 PM

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is calling statements from Canada Post “an outright misrepresentation.”

Canada Post has issued a news release saying the union had spent a weekend negotiating session talking about contracted facility cleaning services and other issues related to pay and benefits for future employees.

CUPW says in a release of its own, posted on its website, that its negotiators instead worked on a response to a proposal for Saturday delivery.

The release from the union says this would only be for part-time employees working an eight hour week, adding “Who can live on that?”

The union also refutes claims from Canada Post that young people don’t want to work full-time, preferring flexibility. CUPW says young people are working multiple jobs to make ends meet and that the current strike is for both current and new postal workers.
