CUPW Toronto Local is very disturbed about the survey you have done about postal workers.

Just so that you know we the postal workers served the public during this ongoing pandemic.

Toronto Local has lost two members due to COVID 19 and thousands of our workers and their families are affected by this pandemic. Despite all these our members never stopped serving public and delivering their mail, goods, medicine and daily essential items.

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?

COVID-19 and Rapid Test Kit

 

Sisters and Brothers,

 

I would like to update you about COVID-19 and Rapid Test Kit for depot 4. Mississauga Campobello C&D depot has been highlighted to receive take home Rapid Test Kit because of the reported COVID 19 cases.

YOUR RIGHTS WHILE ON LWOP

 

Sisters and Brothers,

The Local has received many inquiries on the issue of LWOP and benefits after November 26th,2021.

The Record of Employment was issued by Canada Post dated December 28th,2021, even though our members were sent home on November 26th, 2021. Canada Post has advised that the December 28th2021 date was used so that members can use their benefits for the first 30 days after they were sent home.

ACTION AGAINST ISLAMOPHOBIA AND HATE

 

Sisters and Brothers,

 

Federal government has declared January 29 as National Day of Remembrance of the Québec City Mosque Attack and Action against Islamophobia.

Five years ago, on January 29, 2017, the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City was subjected to a horrific, hateful, and Islamophobic crime. This place of worship was attacked by a gunman who opened fire on the worshipers, killing six people and injuring many more.

COVID-19 and Rapid Test Kit

 

Sisters and Brothers,

 

I would like to update you about COVID-19 and Rapid Test Kit for depots. MDC (340 Matheson) was highlighted because of the reported COVID-19 cases.

 

As of Monday, January 31,2022, members at 340 Matheson will receive 60 level 2 masks and 6 home rapid test kits. These kits for the members at work.
