CUPW organizes “Stop the Cuts – Save Canada Post” roadshow

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) is taking to the road on a cross-country tour, “encouraging people to fight back against cuts to postal service by voting out the Conservatives”. In a statement issued today (15 July), Mike Palecek, National President of the CUPW, said: “Our message to Stephen Harper and his Conservatives: you cannot run, you cannot hide from these cuts.”

The tour, crewed by rotating groups of postal workers, started at Cape Spear, Newfoundland, Canada’s easternmost point, and will eventually make its way to the West Coast, stopping in workplaces and communities, and holding public meetings along the way.

“Everywhere we go, we know that Canadians want to keep their home delivery,” claimed Palecek, “they want to keep their money-making post office, and they know it’s the Conservatives that are taking it away.”

Updates on the CUPW can be found at www.savecanadapost.ca

As previously reported, Canada Post has argued that it has to introduce cost-cutting and rationalisation measures as a response to falling revenues caused by a drop-off in traditional mail.
