CUP-W Members Unite in a Creative Strike

In a bold move against Canada Post, members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUP-W) have decided to halt flyer deliveries as part of their ongoing labor dispute. This striking action underscores their demand for a fair and ratifiable contract.

MPs and the Public Take Notice

As the House of Commons kicks off its autumn session, CUP-W members have been vocal at MP offices nationwide, making sure their message is heard loud and clear.

A Call for Negotiation

CUP-W Local 126 President Mike McDonald emphasized the urgency for Canada Post to negotiate a deal that satisfies the union's demands. 'It's time for Canada Post to step up and negotiate a collective agreement that workers can actually ratify,' McDonald stated.

Surprising Financial Losses Raise Questions

Adding fuel to the fire, Canada Post recorded a staggering loss of over $400 million in the second quarter of 2025. Many are puzzled by the timing of the union's decision to stop delivering flyers, a critical revenue stream for the organization.

Transparency is Key: McDonald's Demands

McDonald pointed out an intriguing discrepancy: while Canada Post is quick to publicize its financial losses, there's rarely any mention of fiscal successes. 'I'd like to see more transparency surrounding Canada Post's finances,' he remarked on VOCM Open Line. He even suggested that perhaps the Canada Revenue Agency should step in for a thorough audit of the postal service's expenditure.
