Canadian health authorities predicted a second wave of the coronavirus early on, and indeed, COVID-19 cases are rising in some parts of the country.
CUPW members everywhere have done an amazing job preventing COVID-19 from spreading in the workplace.
Since the beginning of July 2020, workers with a medical condition deemed high risk and who had to stay home following the COVID-19 outbreak have been given a form prepared by Canada Life. This form was to be completed by a physician and was intended to determine if you should remain on leave or if you were fit to return to work. If you received this form, here’s what you need to know.
Dear Sisters, Brothers, Friends:
Many members have been asking about the new form for high-risk as it is not available on the Intrapost site. Canada Life has not yet provided the new form to Canada Post. We will notify the Regions once it is available.
We have been working on this file consistently and have tried to get this important information out to members in a relevant timeframe. If you are as dissatisfied with the situation as we are, we encourage you to let Canada Post know!
OLD FORM
For members who have filled in the old form or need to use the old form: We have reached an agreement that Canada Post will ONLY receive the information that would have been provided on the new high-risk form.
Today we received the long awaited interest arbitration decision from Arbitrator Elizabeth MacPherson. Below is a summary of this decision and how it will impact Urban Ops employees.
The Following Has Been Imposed by the Arbitrator

Working during the COVID-19 Pandemic could be challenging and here are some messages from our members at PPC.
