National Day of Mourning on April 28th, 2021

Sisters and Brothers, 

Toronto Local will be observing National Day of Mourning on April 28th, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and loss of life of our co workers and all the workers who lost their lives.

We the workers, do not have the luxury to work from home. We are proud to serve the public during this crisis. We are encouraging the members to come out at the main entrance on Eglington Ave of Gateway MPP by the bus stop at 10 am for 10 minutes to show the respect of our fallen members.

On the same day we are encouraging members to come out at the main entrance of SCLPP on Eastern Ave by the bus stop at 12 noon for 10 minutes to show the respect for our fallen members.

Please be socially distanced and wear a mask. For all other work locations, we are encouraging the membership to go outside for 10 minutes at 10 o'clock to show their solidarity. Please share the pictures with Sister Marsh.

10 minutes represents 10 days sick pay for all workers who are not entitled to get paid and be able to stay home and recover The Local will be placing a wreath at the both Plants to show the public that "A postal worker has died here" 

In Solidarity
