I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news! Our former Grievance Officer, a dedicated advocate for our members of the Toronto Local for many years, has been honored as a trailblazing woman by our National Union. Below, you’ll find the inspiring article from CUPW National celebrating Sister Joanne Leader’s remarkable achievements. Let’s give her the recognition she truly deserves! “Joanne Leader began working for the post office in 1974.
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

Happy St. Patrick’s DAY to everyone celebrating!
If you’re wondering why people are wearing green today, it’s because it’s St. Patrick’s Day—another day to celebrate our diversity.

Happy Eid to everyone celebrating!
Wishing you and your family a Happy EID Mubarak.

On March 1st to the 2nd our National negotiators discussed our ongoing bargaining dispute with Canada Post and worked towards new collective agreements. During these negotiations, we proposed enhancements to weekend parcel deliveries while advocating for protecting full-time jobs. However, Canada Post has maintained a position that includes rollbacks, which would undermine our collective agreement and threaten the stability of full-time employment.
February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate and recognize the incredible contributions of Black Canadians throughout history and today. Let's take this opportunity to reflect on the contributions and to honour our Toronto Local's First Black President Megan Whitfield who left us too early in 2020. Sister Megan shaped our collective history. She remains "Eternal in our Memories". In May, please visit our National CUPW website regarding information about: The Fifth Annual Megan Whitfield Bursary-Inspiring a New Generation of Activist.

CPC management has been moving workers from WPDH to Gateway proper. They claim that the Union was made aware. THIS IS A LIE The Union has NOT received any written notice or proposals including the Team Leader Talk Track which was distributed to our members without our knowledge or consent! At no time has the Union agreed to this movement between WPDH Post Office and Gateway Post Office.
