Solidarity Builds Collective Power Cyberbullying Does Not

These are difficult times: work stress, climate crisis and associated disasters, and the demands of daily life compound each other and it’s hard to get relief. Meanwhile we’re trying to collectively make an important decision about our future. Some of us have positive coping tactics, while others express helplessness and insecurity through bullying and other destructive behaviours that weaken us all.

Healthy Dialogue and Debate Build Up our Strength…

Make no mistake, critical thought is necessary to build class power and a dynamic union. It is the basis of respect and freedom. Critical and class-based analysis strengthens the rights and working conditions of everyone. The current discussion about the bargaining process is a key moment. Respectful and honest critique and differing positions can inform members and help make their decision. Debate enriches us, monolithic thought only serves top-down authoritarian structures.

CUPW statement on mandatory vaccination for federal sector employees

CUPW continues to encourage all of our members, of which the majority are postal workers, to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their coworkers, their families and their communities.
Maintaining the health and safety of our members and the public is our number one priority.
In light of the federal government announcement on mandatory vaccination, we urge the government to provide the full details of application.
We also expect the government to meaningfully consult with unions before making any decisions that could significantly impact our members.
CUPW will also engage with Canada Post to continue to protect the health, safety, and rights of our members in continuing to provide important services to the public.
