Ottawa – Yesterday evening, Canada Post presented the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) with what it calls “time-limited” offers for both the Urban Operations and Rural and Suburban Mail Carrier (RSMC) units to put an end to strike activities and bring resolution to negotiations.
“These offers are a step in the right direction, however, both the Urban and RSMC offers do not seriously address the major issues of our members – health and safety, equality and creating more full time jobs and less precarious work,” says Mike Palecek, CUPW National President. “These offers simply aren’t good enough, but we remain at the bargaining table and will continue to negotiate with Canada Post.”
