Urban and RSMC Negotiations 2017-2018

Decision Summary Bulletins

Wednesday October 14 2020
We are still meeting virtually with CPC on the issue of pay increments and the corrections. Canada Post has started paying out members who were underpaid and expect everyone to be fully compensated by the end of 2020.
Friday September 11 2020
Following many discussions with Canada Post representatives and after reviewing the arbitration decision, in great detail, some clarifications to the June 18, 2020 Bulletin (#152) are required. Arbitrator MacPherson’s award only covers hours worked in excess of 40 hours a week. It also includes a trigger to have access to overtime payment.
Wednesday July 15 2020
On June 11, 2020, Arbitrator MacPherson imposed wage increases for the four (4) years of both urban and RSMC collective agreements of 2%, 2%, 2.5% and 2.9%. Retirees who worked at CPC after February 1st, 2018 for Urban and after January 1st, 2018 for RSMCs are also entitled to retroactivity on all the time paid after these dates as the case may be.
Friday July 10 2020
Following the publication of the arbitration award of Arbitrator MacPherson, Canada Post management formally requested that she correct her award with respect to the monetary increases for the variable allowance (householder delivery) and the knowledge sort and civic address allowance.
Thursday July 9 2020
Fairly early on in this process, the parties were able to negotiate and sign language giving the Union access to the information that Canada Post uses to restructure letter carrier and RSMC routes. To many of you this may not appear to be related to overburdening, but it is one of the keys that will allow us to fully investigate how the data is used to restructure our routes.

Help Support CUPW


Many of you have reached out asking how you can help as we head to the picket lines. There are many ways to show solidarity with CUPW and its members:

  • Public messages in print and social media in support of our negotiations, our issues and postal workers.

  • Join us on the picket line.

  • Send a letter or message to the Prime Minister, Minister Qualtrough and Canada Post interim President Jessica McDonald, expressing support for CUPW and its workers and urging them to do what’s right for workers (their emails are below).

Our members are dedicated to serving the people of this country. We do not want to take strike action but we have been pushed into a corner. Almost a year of negotiations and Canada Post refuses to address our major issues. We are sending a message that we will not back down, that we will fight for what is right.

 

Thank you for being by our side during this fight.
