Important Update: Return to Work

National Executive's Decision: Return to Work

Subject: Important Update: Return to Work: 

Postal  Workers: 

I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for your solidarity during Our Strike. Our National Executive Board has made the decision for us to return to work at 8 am local time on Tuesday, December 17th. Let’s unite as one and step inside the building together at 8 am, just as we departed together.

No changes for our Picket Lines

 

**Update on our Picket Lines**


Postal Workers:
I want to reaffirm that there are no changes regarding the picket lines. We will steadfastly hold our ground, with management having no permission to enter—just as we have maintained throughout the strike. I take immense pride in every Postal Worker’s commitment on the picket lines, whether serving as a picket line trooper, a cook, a fire drum monitor, serving as a picket captain, driving for firewood, or working diligently at the Union Hall to manage strike payments and logistics, alongside our Toronto Local Executive. The dedication displayed has been extraordinary, creating a community of solidarity at each postal plant, Letter Carrier depot, and retail stores. Driving to picket lines and seeing all the extraordinary unique  shelters and cities that have been built all without a building permit in sight made be feel like a proud Mayor.

**Final Arrangement for the Ottawa Rally! 🌟**

**Date: Wednesday, December 11, 2024**
You can only board the bus at the location where you have pre-registered. The transportation will arrive at all locations for a pick-up at 5:30 AM and will leave at 6:00 AM sharp. Only prearranged passengers will be only allowed on the bus and seating will be on a first come first serve basis. If there are any available seats at 6:00 AM, they will be open to anyone waiting to board. If for some unforeseeable reason there are not enough seats we apologize.

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!
