Awwwww... Golly gee shucks.... ☺️

You see, the thing is, we didn't have to miss Christmas completely. We originally gave strike notice - rotating strikes looked to be the order of the day. Shortly after our notice, CP said, "Fine, you go on rotating strikes, we lock you out." So, we went full strike. Sure, CUPW deserves some...

$31 is good money for sure. But again, it takes a LONG while to get there. As for not being as physically demanding, I disagree 100% with you - for the foot delivery carriers. Walking 24-32km+ a day, carrying 35 pounds of mail up and down stairs. I would reload the mail bags about 8-13 times a...

OK… a few things to consider here. CUPW have not has a raise in 6 years. We deserve a raise. We start at something like $21/hour. If you’re lucky enough to stay in 1 staff grouping for your entire time at CP, you can make up to $31/hour after 7 years… Your wages do not move whatsoever until you...

Then everyone in outlying communities no longer has access to mail services, unless courier companies drastically expand their services - which would also be at astronomical costs. If a company with an established mail system purchases CP (i.e. DHL), they may be able to make a go of it. TBH...

Or do as the Republicans in the USA… or as the Nazi propaganda specialists… Repeat a lie enough times it eventually becomes the truth for many people.

CP does have the public eye, as it’s on the news nearly every night. They talk about how much hurt is being put onto small businesses. How it’s CP’s fault… Then dig deeper. CP puts all this stuff on the news about how terrible CUPW is. We have people honking all the time as they drive past the...

DHL wanted to buy CP 11 years ago.. they looked at the books and structure and nope’d out.

Well, the Canada Industrial Relations Board agrees with CUPW and that they were retaliatory lay-offs. This information was just released to CUPW. Now, the union should adopt CP model and throw them under the bus hard for this in the public eye.

“The Sticky” is amusing. Loosely based on a giant Maple Syrup heist in Quebec a while back. 6, half hour episodes. A surprise appearance by an extremely well known actress was the icing on the cake.

It’s not only casuals. A bunch of the clerks in Guelph have 3.75 hour shifts in the morning for precisely the same reason. Start at 5am, done at 8:45am. Posties start at 9am. The only reason I’m in Guelph is because the restructured my old route (went from 25 hours/week to 17 hours/week) and I...

The whole janitor thing is a giant red herring / distraction from CP to the media. That’s an item that’s sooooooo far down the list it’s pretty much inconsequential, but CP is latching on to that like a baby on a titty and milking it for all it’s worth.

There were several other things that the union offered as well for cost savings measures. The local I belong to is rather upset about 1 potential concession involving overtime hours. Basically, CPC was taking away sections of walks from route owners if this route is regularly into overtime. The...

That’s unclear. But friends/family of CUPW workers have been receiving packages and/or mail via private couriers. This has been documented and reported to CUPW and to the “Legal Establishment”. Since CPC owns the vast majority of Purolator, they have found a loophole to all them to...

The top personal security company in the USA has been inundated with CEO protection requests. (Lots of stuff about it in Google)

Soooo….. Latest thing in negotiations… CUPW responded to the “framework” that CP provided. Of course, the sides have differences, but there’s progress. Late this past Friday night, CP sends a counter offer to CUPW. We were hopeful that this was a sign of progress. Unfortunately, CP has backed...

From what I understand, they want to contract gig type workers (not sure of level of background check) with no guaranteed hours, zero benefits, zero pension, zero everything except barely over minimum wage. I proposed they use the massive number of “casuals” who have been schooled by CPC, had...

Absolutely we checked on daily if we missed delivering a scannable item - even more so if it’s a signature required item (i.e. passport, high value item, registered mail).

Precisely one of the reasons we don’t want the gig workers. We deliver passports and registered mail (can be letters, packets or parcels). We have to get fingerprinted and have a full deep down background check by the RCMP done. I highly doubt that CPC wouldn’t be thrilled about paying for the...

Alright. Back up the bus. We are *NOT* asking 2x pay. Union wants to avoid the “Gig” system - contract workers with no guaranteed hours, no benefits and at a $18/hour wage. They want to avoid the “2 Tier” (actually, it’s already 7 tier wages depending on seniority) disparity. We do not want...
