Canada Post recently introduced a new delivery photo confirmation procedure requiring letter carriers and RSMCs to use the Portable Data Terminal (PDT) to take a photo of items that are safe dropped at residential addresses, replacing the previous procedure of carding and safe dropping items.
We briefly consulted with Canada Post on July 19 (RSMC) and July 26 (Urban). The Union asked several questions that remain unanswered. We especially brought up the issue of time values under the new procedure, to which Canada Post responded by saying they do not see the need to introduce new time standards.
In response to Canada Post’s position on time values, the Union is diligently analyzing its options.
