CUPW is the only union in North America to have bargained a Fund to support its members with their child care needs. It all began in the early 1980s when women postal workers demanded that their Union do something about their need for child care. In response CUPW began to raise the issue with Canada Post and in 1991 bargained the CUPW Child Care Fund (Fund). Today the Fund supports eight child care projects in different regions of the country and our two largest projects: the Special Needs and Moving On, which supports postal workers who have young or adult children with disabilities.
