On Wednesday, June 4, Minister of Jobs and Families Patty Hajdu asked Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) to “return to the bargaining table with federal mediators to do two things: to seek to negotiate terms for an arbitration process…and to have the union table its response to Canada Post’s last global offers.”
Canada Post entered the discussions last week to try and break through the longstanding impasse. The parties did exchange some information on Thursday and Friday through the mediators, but there wasn’t enough to make any progress.
First, the Union has not tabled a response to our final global offers providing no basis to resolve or resume bargaining. Canada Post presented its offers to CUPW on May 28. There was also no indication that a response would be coming.
Second, we believe the final report of the Industrial Inquiry Commission (IIC) clearly outlines the critical issues we face and the immediate actions that need to be taken. It should therefore be the foundational document that guides any discussions about Canada Post’s path forward. The Union’s refusal to recognize the IIC report and its recommendations in their proposed terms of reference for arbitration is unacceptable.
After 18 months, we urgently need a fair resolution that begins to address our challenges while respecting the important role our employees play, and the voice they have in our future.
CUPW RSMC
Unions are great until they become the business
What’s next. Job security? Why not take that too ? Sounds about right, really everyone work part time. What happened to a good wage full time job for Canadians. Just get some work done on this contact. Before tts sold off. Then no one will have a job. No one outside inside Desk sitters too Go to arbitration is an absolute disaster that’s CUPW ‘s fault their asks were crazy ( especially banking ). Wellness checks. Good lord…. Many others but these two were hilarious
Turning post offices into internet cafe’s… lol, those haven’t been around since affordable computers and smart phones came on the market. CUPW’s talking points for alternate ways to save the business are mostly fruitless and blind to the harsh reality.
I literally thought I was transported to an alternate reality when I read the “plan” to make money was to become banks, perform wellness checks, and become community gathering hubs/internet cafes. Who comes up with these ideas?
Voting is the only way to resolve this! Let’s vote as soon as possible before this company collapses.
There will be no jobs for us unless the company recovers.
Load leveling with rsmcs is a non starter, negotiate arbitration terms like the minister told u too.
What is load levelling and why is it a non starter?
If I’m faster than you are, I get to do part of your route for no extra pay. You will still get paid the same amount even though you aren’t doing the job you are being paid to do
heaven forbid we might have to work 8 hr days
Why should I have to do someone else’s job when I’ve done my own? Why have a route measurement system if it means nothing?
There has not been anything to load level for the past 4 years. Just do your job and quit moaning and groaning.
Guess there’s no reason to have it in Canada posts demands then.
LOL load level 9 parcels for 7 routes LOL
Since it’s such a joke of an entry, I guess it can be removed from their non negotiable demands
You could try negotiating instead of crying
We are all going to be crying when we no longer have a job because CUPW is run by clowns
Can’t you see the company’s situation is getting worse day by day?
The union needs to face reality and accept the offer
Imagine being this stupid
