CUPW supports and stands in solidarity with CUPE education workers on strike today. If we don’t come together now, we can expect the Ford government to keep attacking our labour and human rights. We'll be on the picket lines and invite others to join #IStandWithCUPE
On this Nakba Day, CUPW reiterates its support for the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. We mourn the dead and stand with all those who have been displaced during this brutal war, and we call for a permanent ceasefire.

CUPW congratulates @cupenat flight attendants on achieving a tentative collective agreement! Your determination on the picket line shows the power of workers united. Together, we keep the momentum going. #unpaidworkwontfly#solidarity#CanLab
Two weeks ago, postal workers decisively rejected Canada Post’s so-called ‘final’ offers. Today, as CUPW and CPC return to the bargaining table, postal workers stand united behind our negotiators. We know our worth, and we won’t settle for less! #CanLab
Canada Post management well paid despite losses- Executives of the Canada Post Group of Companies continued to receive high salaries despite significant financial losses. In 2023, the top executives of Canada Post and its subsidiary Purolator shared $15 million [CUPW Translation]
La direction de Postes Canada bien payée malgré les pertes
Selon des données compilées par @LeDroitca, les principaux dirigeants de Postes Canada et de sa filiale Purolator sont mieux payés que lorsque la société d’État générait des profits.

.@susan_p_riley told listeners on #SundayScrum this morning that Letter Carriers make $41 an hour! That's pretty far out of line. The top rate for LCs in the contract that expired this year is $26.60 #factcheck

In 2018, the @JustinTrudeau government took away postal workers rights. Today, his government denies Port of Montreal workers their rights. Friends of labour don’t undermine negotiations with back to work legislation. Period. CUPW stands in solidarity with CUPE 375. #canlab

Bosses and governments have never given us rights that we haven’t fought for, and those rights are meaningless if not defended. Help @CUPW do that: send a protest message to the government of Canada @justintrudeau @cqualtrough #canlab#cdnpolibit.ly/2SKn45H
Our allies braved the cold, the rain, even the police to show their #solidarity with postal workers and the rights of all workers. Thank you. #negotiatedontlegislate#canlab

Minister Hajdu and the Government can’t have it both ways. Either they believe in the rights of workers and their unions, or they do not.

ALT Banning the use of replacement workers in federally regulated sectors during strikes or lockouts is a major win for workers' rights, collective bargaining, and fairness.
This is a historic victory after decades of union advocacy and paves the way for more stable, respectful labour relations in Canada.

L'interdiction du recours à des travailleurs de remplacement dans les secteurs sous réglementation fédérale pendant les grèves ou les lock-out est une grande victoire pour les droits des travailleurs, la négociation collective et l'équité. Il s'agit d'une victoire historique après des décennies de représentation syndicale et qui ouvre la voie à des relations de travail plus stables et respectueuses au Canada.
“We believe in a principle – that working people should be treated fairly” – thank you @FredHahnCUPE and @CUPEOntario for standing up for postal workers and all working people. #negotiatedontlegislate @canlab
Canada Post has delayed back payment of our wages! Members have waited long enough & they can’t afford to wait until October to receive the money they are owed.
Tell Canada Post: No Back Pay Delay! Pay Today!
Some postal workers live with people at high-risk for serious complications from COVID-19. After every shift, they worry they are bringing the virus home to their loved ones. Do your part, limit the social interactions, keep your distance. #covid19#flattenthecurve
