Sisters and Brothers:
The federal government, through Employment and Social Development Canada, announced changes to Part III of the Canada Labour Code (CLC). Among other things, these changes deal with flexible work arrangements and personal leave, extended bereavement leave, leave to support victims of family violence, leave for traditional indigenous practices, the right to refuse overtime to carry out family responsibilities and a thirty (30) minute break for every five consecutive hours of work.
You have received communications from Canada Post concerning these changes. It is important to note that your Union was not involved in the preparation of those communications and the purpose of this bulletin is to explain why.
