#cupw — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #cupw, aggregated by home.social.

  1. @lps For many years #CUPW has been campaigning for service expansion into things like postal banking.

    They have postal banking in France and I've been in some of the outlets. They're crowded and so obviously they are popular.

    We need to think outside the corporation and glad to see this discussion opening up.

  2. Should Canada Post make money? NDP’s new leader Avi Lewis doesn’t think so

    NDP leader Avi Lewis is stirring debate after arguing Canada Post should be treated like an essential public service rather than a profit-driven corporation — just as the agency posts billions in losses and growing pressure over its future.

  3. Canada Post is getting ready to implement sweeping service changes that will close rural post offices and change delivery standards. Affordable postal mail services are a public good that should be maintained. Concerned? Support CUPW cupw.ca/en/campaigns-and-issue

    "Cannnnada Posssst is so old we use the internet now.... " and Amazon, and Purolater, and DHL, and FedEx and Walmart.

    And WE own Canada Post, not a billionaire, not an American, and its DESIGNED to serve Canadians.

    EXPAND CANADA POST.

    STOP giving our stuff to BILLIONAIRS.

    Yes, Carney's right wing attack on Canada Post is an attack on Canadians, and a gift to the billionaires funding Trump's invasion.

  7. Don't forget to be respectful, don't be stupid or write threats, but also don't be afraid to be stern or blunt about your frustrations with Canada Post.

    Remember; postal services are a PUBLIC SERVICE, NOT a business (like UPS, DHL, or FedEx)!

  8. With details blacked out (cause I'm not doxxing myself), here's what I've sent my MP.

    If they've taken the CUPW pledge, mention it! www.cupw.ca/en/campaigns...

    I've also linked a pastebin with for alt-text and examples; but make sure to write it according to who your MP is!

  9. You can also try writing your MP directly!

    Grab your home postal code and put it into this website www.ourcommons.ca/members/en

    You will then get your member of parliament, where you can click the contact details.

    ONLY FOR REFERENCE, I'm showing the page of Prime Minister Mark Carney.

  10. For any Canadians who want to pressure the government to force Canada Post to the table, NOT to force postal workers back to work, you can follow these steps!

    If you wish to send something to Patty Hajdu directly:

    If you are in Thunder Bay-Superior North, she's your MP! Write [email protected]

    If not, you can try writing the Ministry of Jobs and Families directly at [email protected]

    You can call (819) 654-5546 as well.

    This is what I wrote in my email (and I said something similar on the phone).

    The pastebin is to provide alt text (since it breaks the 3000 alt-text limit) - you CAN use it as a template, but I encourage you to write it in your own words, especially if she's your MP!

  11. A Crown corporation is not supposed to be profitable. A Crown corporation is supposed to provide a service.

  12. WTAF DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN?!? Joël Lightbound is a f*cking failure right out of the gate.

    "In response to the government’s attack on our postal service and workers, effective immediately, all #CUPW members at Canada Post are on a nationwide strike." cbc.ca/news/politics/livestory #cdnpoli #cdnecon #polcan

  13. Update on the Postal Worker Strike: globalnews.ca/news/11416917/ca.

    I think this situation shows the incompetence of the management at Canada Post. Their failure to make a deal is harmful for everyone, and is reflecting very poorly on the government.

  14. Postal workers reject Canada Post’s ‘final offer’ by nearly 70%, standing united against cuts to job security and contracting out. #CUPW #CanadaPost

  15. The federal government is forcing postal workers to vote on Canada Post’s offer—but CUPW is urging a strong no. Why? The offer fails to meet basic wage and job security needs. #cdnpoli #CUPW

  16. Everyone is talking about the pending #CUPW strike (post office) but I saw pickets with #CUPE signs today. What's that about?

    This week's episode of Blueprints of Disruption contextualizes this morning's wildcat strike action at the #CUPW sorting plant.

    (Now I am wiped and want to crash, but it's only 7:30 pm, so I need to stay up until at least 10pm. I am not a fan of sunrises, no matter how late they are.)

  18. The government ordering CUPW back to work is exactly what Canada Post wanted, wait it out until the government steps in.

    Make no mistake, your rights to collective bargaining are being trampled here. Canada Post does not want to pay full-time employees, they want gig workers, they want profits, they want happy shareholders.

    Canadians need to make a living wage, we need health insurance for things not covered under UH, and we need guarantees that the next generation entering the workplace gets full-time employment and live a life, not a grind.

    General. Strike. Now.

  19. So, in one fell swoop, it seems from my vantage point that the #CUPW did what the banks have been trying to do for the last decade: they’ve convinced a staggering number of Canadian business to give up on cheques (and #CanadaPost) and move into the world of secure, and often instant, electronic payment.

  20. A reminder that Canada Post is not negotiating in good faith. They are purposely working against the negotiations to put Canadians against Posties.

    The end goal is obvious - Canada Post wants gig workers, not a union. Canada Post wants to pay people as little as possible while removing services, refusing to evolve into a proper and modern postal service. They want to leave rural communities, just like the banks have.

    We can't keep letting this happen.

    I stand with Posties!

  21. A friend of mine is one of the striking postal workers. I ran into him yesterday. Between picket line duties he is working on his music again and has a new track:

    Drink It Up (feat. Dawn Treader) - Bo Gus: youtube.com/watch?v=ayGhjubu6k

    Dawn Treader is also a #LdnOnt artist: linktr.ee/Dawntreader

    The track is very polished and well produced. Dawn Treader's beats feel inspired by J. Dilla and Cut Chemist but definitely their own sound.

  22. Postal workers in Canada are on strike!

    cupw.ca/en/collective-agreemen

    The post office is an essential service, and the workers who provide that service have good jobs because of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Postal jobs should remain good jobs!

    Expand Canada Post instead of cutting it! CUPW has a plan with new useful services for Canadians: deliveringcommunitypower.ca/

  23. As Israel continues its bombardment of #Gaza, which has resulted in a devastating number of civilian deaths, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers #CUPW, the Canadian Union of Public Employees #CUPE, the National Union of Public and General Employees #NUPGE, and the Public Service Alliance of Canada #PSAC are calling on the Canadian government to immediately suspend the trade of arms and military equipment with #Israel
