The Struggle Continues…


Tuesday November 27 2018

After 37 days of rotating strikes, unconstitutional legislation has removed the right to strike for postal workers. Legal strike action ends at noon today, but the struggle is not over.

You cannot legislate labour peace. We are now moving to a different phase of the struggle.

We are asking members to return to their regularly scheduled shifts as of 12:00 pm ET and await further instructions.

In the coming days we will be calling on our allies and membership for a campaign of mobilizations, demonstrations and non-violent civil disobedience.

All options remain on the table to achieve negotiated collective agreements that address health and safety, inequitable treatment, fair wages and working conditions, and the democratic right to free collective bargaining.

In Solidarity,

On behalf of the

National Executive Board

Just a reminder that there is still a National Overtime ban in effect. This is a legal strike action. National CUPW expects all members to follow this direction. Canada Post cannot discipline you for participating in a legal strike action. Canada Post cannot force you to do overtime.
