CUPW Prepares for the Modern Post

Much has happened since October 15, 2007, when Canada Post Corporation first notified CUPW of its intention to “invest in the creation of a Modern Post”. Since then CUPW has been busy consulting with CPC and doing research on other postal administrations concerning the potential impact of CPC's $2 billion project to transform postal operations. Based on this information, the National Executive Board has adopted a comprehensive “program of demands” concerning all aspects of CPC's Modern Post project. Changes associated with the Modern Post are scheduled to begin in the summer of 2010 with the opening of the new Mail Processing Plant in Winnipeg. Very shortly afterwards letters will begin to be sequenced in Winnipeg and the national roll-out of sequencing will follow.
