Notice of Motions

 

MOTION BY BROTHER MARK BROWN, SECONDED BY SISTER MARY HYLTON

 

Virtual Platform for General Membership Meetings

 

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.

 

 

MOTION BY BROTHER JONATHAN SHEPARD, SECONDED BY SISTER CHRISTINE PERRI

 

Motion to oppose SSD and all work intensification programs.

 

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, Comrades:

 

Please join the Local in celebrating truth and reconciliation for our Indigenous workers with a blessing and refreshments at the Local Union Hall on this important day.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed annually on September 30 to honour Survivors of residential schools, their families, and Indigenous communities. This day provides an opportunity to recognize the painful legacy of residential schools, reflect on the ongoing impacts of colonialism, and support meaningful reconciliation.  It matters because

We honour the children who never returned home from residential schools.

We Recognize the experiences and resilience of Survivors.

It encourages learning about Indigenous histories, cultures, and contributions.

It also promotes action toward reconciliation and respectful relationships

Ways for our members to participate

  • Wear orange to recognize Orange Shirt Day and support awareness of residential school experiences.
  • Attend local Indigenous-led events, ceremonies, or educational programs.
  • The Toronto Local CUPW holds a celebration every year at the Union Hall at 47 Densley Ave, North York
  • Come join in and hear the speakers and help celebrate this important day.        

In Solidarity, An Injury to One is an Injury to All
