As reports point to looming sellout agreement between Canada Post and CUPW, what way forward for postal workers?

Impending Agreement Between Canada Post and CUPW

Prime Minister Mark Carney has emphasized that his Liberal government sees dismantling Canada Post in its current form as a test case for broader attacks on workers. Daniel Berkley, a postal worker and key member of the Postal Workers Rank-and-File Committee, represents grassroots concerns in this dispute.

Union's Position and Recent Developments

Media reports reveal that the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is nearing an agreement with Canada Post that may impose significant cuts to jobs and worsen working conditions. New bargaining started on November 3, with CUPW acknowledging the government's appointed mediator and expressing readiness to resolve differences and secure collective agreements.

Union's Appeal to the Government

In a statement, CUPW respectfully urged the pro-business Liberal government, which supports plans to cut two-thirds of Canada Post's 55,000 employees,

"to ensure that any decisions… are made… with Union input."
