Sisters, Siblings and Brothers:
The Toronto Local, along with other Labour Unions will be marching in the Toronto Labour Day Parade. The Local assembly will be in section 6, which is both sides the East side (Blvd) on University Avenue, south from Dundas St. W. and halfway down to Armoury Street.
Sisters, Brothers, Cousins:
The Corporation is not negotiating in good faith with the National CUPW Negotiators. In simple terms they have not agreed to any clauses in the Collective Agreement. We cannot sit back and avoid a strike, not this time. Every member has to come out to vote to protect all of our rights.
What is at stake?
Two-Tier benefits for new hires, also that retiree’s pay 100% of their benefits at retirement, as it is now we pay 35% of the cost. It would be triple the amount. That is a serious roll back that affects all members. So nobody can sit back and say this won’t affect them. Two-Tier pension for new hires as well with a contributed pension plan not defined, which could weaken the pension for everyone in the future
Sisters, Brothers, Comrades
The Local has received complaints from members that the bylaw meeting was not posted in all facilities, as there is not enough time to do that at this point we have no choice but to cancel the meeting.
Sisters, Brothers, Cousins:
As we are all aware Canada Post Management just got enormous bonuses, bonuses that if were not given would wipe of the most of the 748 million dollar deficit. Keep in mind the higher the status the higher the bonuses. Currently there are over 300 Directors alone, not to mention all the CEO and VP officers. All this on the backs of workers. When it comes to our issues and money for workers they cry poor mouth. It is shameful.
