Message Delivered

On Saturday, over 1000 postal workers and allies gathered in Montreal and marched to Prime Minister Trudeau’s constituency office to deliver our message to the government. It is time for Canada Post to negotiate seriously with us and address the issues that are key to achieving new collective agreements.

Next Step

Now we wait and see how the Government will react to our request for them to encourage Canada Post to come to the table ready to resolve the big issues. We have shown both the Government and Canada Post that we are organized and committed to achieving negotiated collective agreements. There will be a rally in Toronto tomorrow at 10:30 am to continue sending our message to the Government.
