Another year is ending, and another one, beginning. For workers, the struggle for our rights continues, day in, day out. The struggle is worth it and gives meaning to our lives.

A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE

The struggles we are waging now at Canada Post are part of a greater battle, i.e., one for the kind of life we want as a society in the future. Do we want a world of cheap labour that caters to the whims of large corporations and the governments who are in their pockets, or a world that is based on decent jobs and good services for all?  For us at CUPW, the choice is clear. We want a world with a human face.

OUR DEMANDS: BASED ON RESPECT, EQUALITY AND SHARING THE BENEFITS OF NEW TECHNOLOGY

We’ve been saying since 2008 that we will not be made to pay for a financial and economic crisis that was caused by multinational corporations and their insatiable appetites for maximum profits. We are the ones who, as workers, produce the goods and services required for society as a whole. That needs to be recognized.

The bargaining we’ve begun as part of the third reopening of the Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers collective agreement and the renewal of the Urban Unit collective agreement are crucial for our future and for building a just and equitable world. We should be proud of it.

2011: A TIME FOR SOLIDARITY AND ACTION 

Let’s stand together and mobilize in the struggle for our rights and for collective agreements that protect the gains we have achieved and lay the foundation for our collective future. This is what we want for 2011.

THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES.
TOGETHER, WE WILL WIN.
