Respectful Conduct Between

 

MEMBERS AND LOCAL EXECUTIVE

 

Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) – Toronto Local

Our union is built on solidarity, mutual respect, and the collective strength of our membership. Every member has the right to ask questions, raise concerns, challenge decisions, and hold elected officers accountable. At the same time, all interactions should remain respectful and constructive.

Members Can Expect:

  • To be treated fairly, respectfully, and without discrimination or harassment.
  • Timely responses to questions and concerns whenever possible.
  • Representation that is consistent with the CUPW Constitution, Local Bylaws, and Collective Agreement.
  • Confidentiality when discussing personal or workplace matters, where appropriate.

 

The Local Executive Can Expect:

  • Respectful communication from members, whether in person, by telephone, email, or on social media.
  • A workplace free from abusive, threatening, intimidating, or harassing behaviour.
  • Reasonable opportunities to investigate concerns before providing responses or taking action.
  • Recognition that Executive members often balance union responsibilities with their regular employment and other obligations.

 

Working Together

Constructive dialogue is essential to resolving issues. Disagreements are a normal part of a democratic union, but they should never become personal attacks.

We encourage all members to:

  • Speak respectfully, even when opinions differ.
  • Focus on the issue, not the individual.
  • Allow each person the opportunity to speak without interruption.
  • Refrain from abusive language, threats, intimidation, or harassment.
  • Follow the appropriate union processes when raising concerns or filing complaints.

 

Our Commitment

The Toronto Local Executive is committed to serving the membership with professionalism, integrity, and respect. We ask that members extend that same respect to elected representatives so that we can continue working together to protect members’ rights and strengthen our union.

Solidarity is built on respect. Together, we are stronger.

 

In Solidarity.

UNION HALL

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
