The Urban Operations Collective Agreement expires on January 31, 2016. Before we enter into negotiations for the next Collective Agreement, our constitution mandates that we vote on a package of demands. This vote is taking place in our Local at various venues and dates from September 27th, 2015, to October 14th, 2015. Please see below the list of times and places that they are being held and please attend. These meetings are open to all Members in Good Standing. It is important that we show the Negotiators that we support them and that we show Canada Post that we want improvements from that last Collective Agreement.

While the evacuation process was under way, superintendent Jacques Damgajian directly intervened and instructed a number of our members to remain working in the area despite the clear and present danger in front of them. In fact, Mr. Damgajian felt it was appropriate to dole out direct orders to remain as employees were literally fleeing for their lives!
