No. 50
Yesterday, November 21, the Negotiators continued bargaining with Canada Post with the help of the government’s mediators.
Urban Unit
Again, much of the Urban Unit’s focus was on the Corporation’s demand for weekend parcel delivery.
Canada Post told the Negotiators it would have a new proposal on weekend delivery early in the morning. Instead, the Employer did not provide it to us until well into the evening. The Negotiators are still reviewing the proposal, but at first glance, it does not go far enough to address our concerns.
The parties also exchanged proposals and positions on Group 3 and 4 issues, minimum hours for part-time workers in Group 2, overtime, renewing dates in the collective agreement, and a new Vehicle Mechanic VHE apprenticeship program.
RSMC Unit
The RSMC Unitfocused on outstanding issues for the new hourly rate system.
The Negotiators received updated responses from Canada Post dealing with automated volume counts, various sort activities, and data transparency.
The Negotiators are also reviewing Canada Post’s latest responses addressing drive times and stop times.
Your Support Matters!
The Negotiators thank all members for all their support, from volunteering to deliver socio-economic cheques to holding strong on the picket line!
We are 55,000 strong, and together we are unstoppable!
