Canada Post workers from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) need your solidarity.
Fair wages, improved health and safety, sound pensions, and increased staffing are on the bargaining table. But their employer hasn’t offered real solutions.
On Tuesday, CUPW served a 72-hour strike notice to Canada Post. Canada Post workers at CUPW will be in a position to strike this Friday, November 15, 2024.
As a PSAC member, you are not in a legal strike position, and you must continue to report for duty. Here’s what to do in the event of a CUPW strike:
- Continue showing up to work. You will still have access to your workplace even if you’re in areas where CUPW has established picket lines.
- During your lunch breaks, and before or after your work day, join the picket lines to express solidarity with CUPW members.
- If you feel it is unsafe to cross the picket line, contact your supervisor and union representative.
- Make note of the entry points at your workplace for PSAC members. A CUPW picket captain will specify.
When PSAC members were on strike against Treasury Board, our CUPW colleagues joined us on the line. Now it’s our turn to show solidarity.
In solidarity,
Sharon DeSousa
PSAC National President
