The global pandemic is now more than a year old, and we still have no certainty on how and when it will end. We have yet to see exactly where postal workers will stand in the line for vaccinations, and we must continue to take appropriate precautions for at least several more months.
CUPW has worked as closely as we can with Canada Post Corporation (CPC), to stay informed on the potential for workplace transmission, and to ensure that members – who have been exposed to the virus or have need for special leaves because of the pandemic – are looked after. And we have worked to compel CPC and our other employers to do everything possible to protect our members’ health and safety at work, which is complicated and ever-changing.
