LABOR RELATIONS. After a day of respite from discussions imposed by the special federal mediator on Wednesday, Canada Post and the Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) are now back at the negotiating table this Thursday morning.
L’Express was able to confirm this information with the vice-president of the Drummondville section of the CUPW, Christopher Plante.
In Ottawa, several CUPW members and their union allies demonstrated in front of the Canada Post headquarters. In a press release, CUPW denounces the fact that the employer “remains firm in its positions” and that it “must set an example, and not engage in a race to the bottom alongside competitors who are multinational companies “.
The national director of the Metropolitan Montreal region at CUPW and the union’s spokesperson for French-speaking media, Yannick Scott, told - on Thursday that members hope to reach an agreement before the end of the holiday season.
Since November 15, 55,000 postal workers of the state company have been on strike across Canada. For a week and a half, letters and packages have not been processed and sent, with the exception of government services which are delivered every 20th day of the month. Citizens still come to deliver packages to the various post offices which will remain awaiting processing until the end of the negotiations.
