AN EMERGENCY RALLY CALL FOR A FAIR CONTRACT AND TO PROTECT WORKERS’ RIGHTS
**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.
**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.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’re finalizing the bus arrangements for an incredible rally in Ottawa on **Wednesday, December 11, 2024**! If you want to be a part of this powerful event, reserve your seat on the bus and reach out to **Adele Chaplain** [email protected] or **Robby Johal** [email protected] via email (please, no phone calls!). Don’t forget—the deadline to confirm your spot is **December 10, 2024, by noon**!
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!
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.
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.

UNION HALL – 47 DENSLEY AVE.
Sisters, Brothers, Cousins:
First of all the Local would like to thank you for all your hard work, especially during the Covid period where you worked tirelessly to ensure that Canadians who were at home received their essential items every day. You are the Corporations greatest assets! Too bad they don’t realize that.
Sisters, Brothers and Siblings,
Both our collective agreements, Urban and R.S.M.C.’s have expired. In preparations for negotiations we collected demands from the membership, prioritized them, collected data and prepared presentations. Now we are in the process of negotiating a new contract.
