To Present Notices of Motion
November 10, 2015, 5:00 pm
at the Union Hall
(4530 Dawson Street, Burnaby)
On October 22 we unfortunately did not reach quorum at our General Membership Meeting. This did not allow us to conduct the business of the Local.
There were a number of Notices of Motion that were going to be presented at that meeting. We would like to be able to debate and vote on these Notices of Motion at the November General Membership Meeting. In order to do that they need to be presented to the membership first.
10.1 G (1) Notices of Motion must be presented and duly recorded at a General Membership Meeting and discussed and debated at the subsequent General Membership Meeting(s), or at a Special Meeting(s), provided a minimum of ten (10) days notice of the Special Meeting(s) is given.
10.2 A (1) of the By Laws allows for Special Meeting to be called on the initiative of the President. Whenever possible, bulletins shall be posted ten (10) days prior to a Special Meeting.
The reading of these Notices of Motion will be the sole item on the agenda so the meeting will be focused and should be relatively short in length.
Please support CUPW’s democratic process and attend this meeting.
In Solidarity,
Jennifer Savage

The Federal Election has been scheduled for October 19, 2015. The Union wants to ensure that all employees are given time to exercise their right to vote.
The upcoming negotiations are crucial and it may be necessary. We intend to recover our rights and benefits that were taken through the last round of this unfair process. We have experienced this before; therefore we must prepare for the worst case scenario.

Canada Post once again has demonstrated a reckless disregard in the direction of well-established Health and Safety standards, as well as ignoring contractual and statutory obligations.
On September 29th, 2015, a Letter Carrier at the Capilano Delivery Depot (CDD) was sent home from work without pay for exercising their right to refuse unsafe work. The work in question was the multiple bundle method, as it pertains to delivery and the preparation at the vehicle.
