NEGOTIATIONS 2011 – IT IS ON!

Canada Post Corporation shows their “LEMON” Proposal for Negotiations!

It is evident after reading the CPC agenda for negotiations that their interest lies solely in increasing profit by attacking Pensions, Sick Leave, Vacation and removing language from the collective agreement that protects CUPW members.

Some of the highlights of what they have put on the table include:

• Defined contribution pension plan

• Short term disability program

• Elimination of 7th week of vacation for current employees with less than 28 years service

• Revise criteria for Night worker recovery leave.

• More flexibility in sizes & delivery spans for Householders

• Changes to of staffing for retail, Group 1 and Group 2

• Increase use of private vehicles

• Retain seniority rights for employees “Acting Supervisor” for 6 months

• Revised job security

• Changes to have work done by both Group 1 and Group 2 employees and other bargaining units.

This is not a complete list of their agenda. Copies of the CPC proposal are available at the Union Office and will also be made available on the union website. The Strength of our Union has had a long history of taking on CPC to fight for our rights as workers! THE TIME IS NOW TO SHOW CPC THAT CUPW members WILL NOT BACK DOWN !!!!! GET INVOLVED!!!!!!
