CUPW Issues 72-Hour Strike Notices
Today, your National Executive Board issued what is known as a “72-hour strike notice” to Canada Post for both the RSMC and Urban bargaining units. This means that we will be legally allowed to strike as of Friday, November 15 if negotiated settlements have not been reached. Although we’ve given notice to Canada Post, the National Executive Board has not yet determined whether job action will take place immediately. It will depend on Canada Post’s actions at the bargaining table in the days to come.
