Whereas the CUPW Toronto Local general membership meetings are crowded and difficult for many members to attend due to Geographical distance, traffics, Public transit and Parking;

Whereas the current local membership is very board in scope, making local executive representation stretched too thin, be it resolved the CUPW Toronto Local will divide its organizational structure into three locals, namely the GTA North Local, the Mississauga Local and Toronto Local.

Be it further resolved each new local will include all Postal installations and offices within the following boundaries:

  • GTA North Local – North of hwy 401 from Brampton to Woodbridge
  • Mississauga Local – South of hwy 401 Lake Ontario, west of hwy 427 to the west border of Mississauga eg. Gateway The West Mall
  • Toronto Local – South of hwy 401 to Lake Ontario, east of hwy 427 to the west border of Scarborough eg. SCLPP, 66 RAY Ave, and associated retail offices.

And further, the National Director of CUPW Metro Toronto Region will assist with the establishment of new local executive committees as required by the National Constitution of CUPW, and according to administrative readiness.

Whereas the Union has the slogan an injury to one is an injury to all.

Whereas the worker CUPW members of workplace Health and Safety Committees and Health and Safety represent undertake to create healthier and safer workplaces and hold the employer accountable.

Whereas an important Mechanism for fulfilling the above is the ability to submit complaints and information to Labor Canada.

Whereas the support structure within CUPW for health and safety Committee members and representatives is less developed than the structures for stewards.

Whereas the corporation will often not approve time to write to Labor Canada with regard to matters involving its conduct in the workplace.

Be it resolved that the Union Local Toronto 626 will accept and facilitate union booked off time requested by Members of Health and Safety Committees and Health and Safety representatives for the purpose of making submissions to Labor Canada in the pursuit of their duties.

Be it resolved that if the Union Local Toronto 626 declines any request they will provide the committee member of representative who put in the request a written explanation for declining the request to enable that committee Member of Representative to keep their constituency on the work floor informed.

URGENT – TEMPORARY WORKERS: 44.11(a) LETTERS

Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends,

Canada Post on December 12th, 2025 has again started to issue 44.11(a) termination letters to temporary workers. If you receive one, it is critical that you act immediately.

WHAT TO DO RIGHT AWAY:

  1. File a grievance without delay.
  2. Contact your Shop Steward at onceor call the Toronto Local Grievance Officer to arrange an in-person meeting at the Union Hall.
  3. Gather any documentationthat explains the reasons for your unavailability.
  4. Do not resign and do not accept termination.

Temporary workers are not disposable. You are essential, you are union, and you deserve fair treatment. Your rights are protected under the collective agreement—use them.

The Toronto Local is defending your rights.

CUPW is filing grievances, challenging violations, and pushing back against unfair treatment.

Solidarity means every worker counts.

We will not allow Canada Post to divide us.  We will not remain silent while temporary workers are used, mistreated, or pushed aside.

An injury to one is an injury to all—and the Toronto Local will fight for every single member.

In Solidarity and In Strength

 

Mark Lubinski 

President 

Toronto Local CUPW

Merry Christmas

Sisters, Brothers and Siblings:

With Christmas right around the corner, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and a very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year.

The resilience and strength in the face of challenges we have faced truly inspired all Postal Workers and our National Negotiators.  

As we spend this Christmas and New Year holiday with loved ones, take a moment to reflect on gratitude and unity.

Mark Lubinski,

President,

CUPW Toronto Local
