As Reports Suggest a Sellout Agreement Between Canada Post and CUPW
Prime Minister Mark Carney has made it clear that his Liberal government views the dismantling of Canada Post as a test case for broader attacks against workers by the ruling elite. Daniel Berkley, a postal worker and a key member of the Postal Workers Rank-and-File Committee (PWRFC), is actively involved in these developments.
Concerns Over Union Negotiations
Multiple media sources report that the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is nearing an agreement with Canada Post that would impose significant cuts and negative changes to jobs and working conditions. Bargaining resumed on Monday, November 3, with CUPW releasing a statement praising the mediator appointed by the government and expressing the union leadership’s willingness to “overcome the disagreements between the parties” and “secure ratifiable collective agreements at the bargaining table.”
"To ensure that any decisions... are made... with Union input," CUPW urged the pro-business Liberal government, which supports plans to cut two-thirds of Canada Post’s 55,000-strong workforce.
