VOTE YES FOR A CLEAR STRIKE MANDATE

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, not this time. Every member has to come out to vote to protect all of our rights.

What is at stake?

Two-Tier benefits for new hires, also that retiree’s pay 100% of their benefits at retirement, as it is now we pay 35% of the cost. It would be triple the amount. That is a serious roll back that affects all members. So nobody can sit back and say this won’t affect them. Two-Tier pension for new hires as well with a contributed pension plan not defined, which could weaken the pension for everyone in the future

Flexible benefits with a higher cost to members who really need these benefits. Our families will suffer!

Route ownership to be taken out with letter carriers no longer working on a fixed delivery route. Also flexibility so that if you finish your route early you will be assigned more work. Getting rid of Appendix CC allowing management to make changes to route measurement and MSCWSS without Union involvement. A new classification POL6 which is group 1 and includes clerks, LCA’s and day or night routers.

Getting rid of double time overtime after the 3rd hour of overtime, getting rid of marriage leave, along with less vacation for new hires and a deletion of the 7^th week annual for everyone else. Deleting night recovery for everyone.

Getting rid of the protection of Retail Counters and using more part time.

Having a higher ratio of part time employee’s to cover relief, and to work flex hours so that there is no overtime anywhere.

Getting rid of the 5 minute wash-up, and on wages? They the boss are our zero hero’s.

They do not want to give anything in this round, we have to stand up in Solidarity and fight.

It is sounding from rumors on the floor (from supervisors) that management may lock us out November 3^rd, 2024 as the supervisors were advised that they would be placed on EI during our strike/lockout.

We need a strong mandate for a strike vote, we cannot accept these outrageous roll backs. Watch the bulletin boards for the strike vote.

A bulletin will be out shortly to advise the roll backs for RSMC’s.

In Solidarity

April 28 Day of Mourning

Dear Postal Workers,

On April 28th, we observe the National Day of Mourning to honour those who have lost their lives or suffered in the workplace. This day also serves as a call to action for stricter safety standards. Let’s stand in solidarity with our fellow Postal Workers, advocating for the vital changes our workplaces need and resisting intimidation from management.
