Health & Safety December 2010
Members of the CUPW Vancouver Local:
As 2010 draws to a close and we approach what will very likely be a challenging start to the New Year with the expiration of our contract on January 31st, it seems fitting to reflect upon the current state of health and safety at Canada Post.
The following is the Canada Post Health and Safety Policy:
Assignments, Positions, Bids: The Basics
Assignments, Positions, Bids: The Basics
What is the difference between a position and an assignment?
All regular employees have both a position and an assignment. Your position is your classification and the post office you are working in. It could be, for example, FT PO-4 in the Edmonton Post Office, PT PO-4 in the VMPP Post Office, FT PO-5 in the VPDC Post Office, FT Letter Carrier in the Winnipeg Post Office, etc. Your assignment is your work area or route. For example, a FT PO-4’s assignment could be Oversize Section, Shift #3 and a Letter Carrier’s assignment could be Depot 74, Walk 45.
