Whereas during the COVID-19 pandemic the Toronto Local conducted General Membership Meetings via virtual platforms.
Whereas the conducting of General Membership Meetings via virtual platforms resulted in the increased participation and engagement in General Membership Meetings by Toronto Local members who faced challenges attending in person General Membership Meetings.
Therefore be it resolved .
Notwithstanding articles 9 (a) or any other provision of the Toronto Local bylaws. A minimum of 50% of all General Membership Meetings conducted during a calendar year lb.Ill be conducted via a virtual platform.
Be it further resolved that this change is effective immediately.
WHEREAS, the SSD program will result in an increase in repetitive strain injuries for "routers"; WHEREAS, the job title of "router" fundamentally undermines our time value allocation;
WHEREAS, the SSD program will usher in even more destructive delivery models like dynamic routing, thereby increasing the casualization of our job;
REAS, increasing route length will only create a higher injury rate for delivery agents;
WHEREAS, the SSD program will not save space or expenses as it purports to do but will only pad the already fat wallets of business school graduates trying to profit off public services but who otherwise do no meaningful work
WHEREAS, the Scarborough local has denounced the SSD program, and its implementation at 280 progress avenue.
WHEREAS, 66 ray avenue is now being threatened with the implementation of SSD, where carriers are already overburdened and struggling.
BE IT RESOLVED that Local 626 will immediately and publicly call upon Canada Post Corporation commits to ending its reckless SSD program immediately.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the local will issue a public document decrying the issues of SSD already raised in the Scarborough local document.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Union will substantively engage with the steward body on ways to counteract the bosses attacks on our jobs.
Sisters, Brothers, Cousins:
The Corporation is not negotiating in good faith with the National CUPW Negotiators. In simple terms they have not agreed to any clauses in the Collective Agreement. We cannot sit back and avoid a strike if Canada Post does not continue to negotiate, not this time. Every member has to come out to vote to protect all of our rights.
Sisters and Brothers,
The Strike Mandate Vote Agenda will be as follows:
Listed below are the dates, times and locations of where the ratification votes will take place:
