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.

Dear Postal Workers
Dear Postal Workers,
As we embrace the vibrant season of spring, I want to remind you of some important information. While we look forward to the warm, sunny days ahead, let’s not forget the snowstorm that tested our resilience. To all Group 1 and 2 CUPW Members, please remember that vehicle boosts are not our responsibilities; those tasks belong to management and to trained Group 3 and 4 CUPW members and snow clearing to management . If you have questions or need clarification about your role, don’t hesitate to reach out to your Shop Steward for support. If no stewards are available in your facility, your Executive Shop Steward (ESS) is just a call away!
Soon we will be filled with new challenges, like applying sunscreen and staying hydrated with plenty of water!
In Solidarity
