Street Letter Boxes at Risk!

Disappearing SLB Alert ! !



Management advised the Local CUPW, at a meeting on new SLB clearance procedures on Friday afternoon June 11, that they would be starting a volume sampling of Street Letter Boxes across the city on Monday June 14. They said this would allow them to “rationalize” their network.



Can anyone remember the last time boxes were added in heavy volume areas??!! To any postie this “sampling”, as we move toward the “Modern Post” restructures, is a clear danger of reduction of mailboxes, meaning service and jobs!



They provide lists of boxes to be sampled, both for the 17:00 MSC clearance and the A.M. MLC clearance. The 17:00 MSC list includes 79 boxes, with sampling scheduled over 2 weeks June 14-25.



The Letter Carrier list includes almost every box in the city, 205 in all!! No time frame is provided.



Canada Post Must Not Be Allowed to Reduce Jobs & Service in Edmonton and Sherwood Park !
