An updated statement from the postal workers union:
• Aug. 25th Statement: The Federal mediators advised us that Canada Post has cancelled today’s (August 25) planned meeting. The Corporation says it needs more time to review our latest global offers. We are expecting to receive more questions from Canada Post about our offers through the Federal mediators.
We will provide an update once we have rescheduled our meeting.
• Day of Action Today: August 25
While our meeting with CPC is not happening, our Day of Action is still on!
• Aug. 21st Statement: Recently, on August 20, CUPW’s Negotiating Committees returned to the bargaining table to present comprehensive global offers for both the RSMC and Urban bargaining units.
While we had planned to meet again tomorrow, Canada Post has told us today that it needs more time to review our offers.
As a result, tomorrow’s meeting has been postponed. Instead, we will return to the table to hear Canada Post’s response next Monday, August 25.
Where We Stand
The message from postal workers is clear: the Corporation’s “best and final” offers didn’t meet our needs. Our global offers are built to secure ratifiable collective agreements that respect workers’ rights and ensure good services for the community.
