CANADA POST LABOUR NEGOTIATIONS
Summary: reallynicestamps shared an email update regarding ongoing negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) to renew their collective agreements. The existing agreements expired at the end of 2023 and January 2024, but the negotiations are progressing, and the expired agreements still apply. darak10 expressed skepticism about the negotiation process, suggesting it might take years without significant outcomes, while brettjet38 mentioned concerns about job security, changes in middle management due to new technologies, and potential shifts towards part-time employment for postal workers.
This was in my emails this morning.
At least they are starting in a reasonably timely manner, and not making the workers wait a year or more as they have in the past.

·2 years agoI have postie friends who do the door-to-door delivery and I can assure you this is no way near a conclusion...
...in fact, it's middle management that is under the chopping block with all the new tech and AI being implemented over at ole Canada Post.
Oh, and they want all the posties to be "Part-Time" savings, savings, everywhere...

·2 years agolike in previous negotiations this will drag out years before theres any job action. CUPW is pretty useless as unions go
