UNI’s Canadian affiliate, CUPW has advised that Canada Post has told the union that it is to introduce a technology update programme, called “Modern Post”. A central part of Canada Post’s “Modern Post” automation program is the new delivery model for letter carriers and Mail Sorting Centres. The main points of this new model include:
• 80pct of letter carrier routes in major urban areas to be affected, as well as about 35pct of all RSMC routes.
• About 90pct of letter-sized mail will be sequenced to line of delivery by machines in plants.
• Two or three letter carriers will use each A-62 case in shifts to sort the rest of the letter mail, flats, and packets.
• 80-85pct of letter carrier routes would be motorized where the new “Delivery Model” is in place.
• Motorized letter carrier routes would deliver all items for their delivery area, including parcels.
• Foot routes will remain in high density areas, generally the downtown core of cities with MSC parcel delivery in these areas.
