We’ve suffered under years of bad contracts, back-to-work legislation, and the pandemic. We’re tired of falling behind financially and watching our jobs deteriorate.

The frustration and anger is valid, but we can — and we should — transform it into a movement for change.

Building Worker Power is the first time since 1988 that CUPW has committed to a nationwide plan to confront the employer directly on the workfloor. There are eight regional organizers who are on the ground, ready to listen to you and welcome you if you want to join us to demand better working conditions.

Here’s what regional organizers Asim and Mary say about why it’s important for ALL CUPW workers to be a part of this movement.

Asim Malik, Ontario region, Local 566 London
Organizing as Canada Post workers isn’t just a fight for us. We’re fighting for the entire working class. Workers from Amazon to Starbucks to Walmart are taking on the struggle to come together and improve their lives. You can be part of this movement.

As a Canada Post worker, you're fortunate to already have a union with a history of winning major changes for workers.

The rising cost of living caused by capitalist greed affects us all, and by joining this campaign, you can help make a positive change in your own life and the lives of your working-class sisters, brothers, friends, and comrades.

Mary Hylton, Toronto region, Local 626 Toronto
I hope when you see and hear about the campaign, it gives you the confidence to stand up against management bullying and tactics in your workplace. The campaign's efforts in one area can lead to changes across all areas, resulting in a better working environment for you and your colleagues. Join us!

You’ll hear from more of the organizers from other regions in the next few emails but in the meantime, if you're on a Local Executive, get in touch with your Regional Organizer to schedule workfloor visits and training sessions. And if you're a member, visit our website to stay informed, talk to your Local Executive about the campaign, and volunteer as a workfloor captain.

It's time to come together and demand a better future for ourselves and our families.
