The Union Hall is receiving a lot of questions about the waiting period and top up credits when using the Short Term Disability Plan (STDP).

CPC’S FUTURE PLANS FOR PO4s & PO5s AT THE
PLANT (PPC)

The second set gives us an idea of what Canada Post wants to do in the future as full-timer’s retire, quit, or transfer. They plan to reduce full-time PO4 and PO5 positions while increasing the number of part-time PO4s.
