POSTAL WORKERS UNDER ATTACK

Sisters and Brothers,

Postal Workers are being attacked by the federal government again. During the pandemic we only received praise while delivering mail including medication, food and supplies to the public on a daily basis.

Minister in charge of Canada Post Filomena Tassi, sends a survey to the interest group with the following questions:

Closing rural post offices?
Replacing postal workers with machines?
Closing all home deliveries and installing community mail box?
Cutting mail delivery 3 times a week?

Toronto Local is very concerned about the minister’s survey. Shame on her and the liberal government.

Toronto Local is asking members to email your local MP’s and tell them to STOP all the attacks on postal workers and we will remember them in the next election. Workers cannot be replaced by machines.

Email address for Ms Tassi at [email protected] and copy the minority prime minister at [email protected]

Postal workers under attack, what do we do? Stand up! Fight back!

Toronto Local will be meeting with every MP in our local jurisdiction to remind them about the services we provide to the public which the federal government called essential. They will be also reminded that they are a minority government and these types of attacks could change history.

The struggle continues.

In Solidarity,

Qaiser Maroof

Fire the Board at Canada Post, or Resign Now

“If the race to the bottom [Canada Post is] seeking to impose on its workers, are the directives of the Liberal government, – the Members of Parliament who belong to the Liberal Party must speak out. They must demand that their government orders Canada Post to do the right thing…” Learie Charles -President Scarborough Local CUPW, December 3, 2024 Bulletin titled

“MPs MUST STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!”

The Honourable Minister of Public Services, Jean-Yves Duclos, must take decisive action regarding the Board of Directors of Canada Post, or he must be replaced. As a Crown Corporation, the Government of Canada is the sole shareholder, so it is imperative that Canada Post operates responsibly. The Minister has the authority to appoint the members of this board, and it is clear that Doug Ettinger, the CEO and President of Canada Post and his current board have failed in their duties.

Dear Comrades

Canada Post is continuing their bullying tactics. Members have received calls from CPC informing them they were laid off while they were on the picket line. This is a scare tactic. CPC wants us to weaken but we are stronger together. We must continue to keep the picket line strong to show Canada Post that an injury to one is an injury to all and we will NOT BE BULLIED!

NEGOTIATION TACTIC EXECUTIVE STEWARDS UNDER ATTACK

Attention: CUPW Members, Postal Workers

In light of the recent challenges our Executive (Chief) Shop Stewards face, we must stand united. The Corporation's attempt to interfere with our elected representatives will not be tolerated.

Happy Thanks Giving

Sisters, Brothers and Siblings,

As we approach Thanksgiving a time to celebrate the harvest and express gratitude for the year gone by, the Toronto Local wants to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all members for being the unsung heroes of Canada’s Postal System.
