Canada Post Corporation (CPC) began to implement Postal Transformation (PT) in 2010. CUPW saw numerous problems with it, which we began to fight to correct right away. One of the issues that we’re still working on, is the multiple-bundle delivery method for letter carriers handling sequenced mail.
The method reduced the amount of inside work in the depot, and increased time spent on the street, in the elements. While delivering in the previous system, letter carriers could sort all mail into their case, for a single tie-out and a single bundle to carry in the hand. This new method also came with longer routes, and a reduction of letter carrier positions.
