Dear RSMC Sisters and Brothers:

You’ve all received the employer’s letter dated February 11^th about the bi‑weekly pay system. And you’re probably wondering if the Union agreed to have the employer hold back two weeks of your pay.

THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS CLEAR AND SIMPLE: ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I can assure you on behalf of the National Executive Board that the Union never agreed with the arrears system.

For the union, the issue of a bi-weekly pay system was always clear and simple, and still is. Our position is that to make it easier for you financially, you should get your annual pay over 26 pay periods, not 12.

Unfortunately, the employer doesn’t agree!  By holding back two weeks of your pay, Canada Post is making it harder for everyone to make ends meet in these times of economic crisis.  The union is currently in discussions with Canada Post and will keep you informed of developments.

I guarantee you we’re doing everything we can to force the employer to reverse its decision.  And we’re going to do it using our collective strength.

LET CANADA POST KNOW YOU DON’T AGREE WITH ITS ARREARS SYSTEM. CALL THE CANADA POST PAY CONTACT CENTRE AT:
