Friends and comrades,

 

In this week's Dispatch, we are covering the most recent negotiations update from National Office, an upcoming Education Committee meeting, and a labour-themed podcast recommendation. There are also a lot of reminders, so please read until the end!

 

Solidarity,

 

Kyle Turner, Communications Officer

 

In the most recent negotiations update from our National office, National President Jan Simpson addresses Canada Post's media campaign to present itself as a failing corporation. During negotiations, CPC's negotiators have said nothing about cutting the number of days of delivery per week. Yet this is the message CPC is putting into the media.

 

CUPW has been engaging with the media and is committed to telling both Parliament and the public about what is happening at Canada Post. Quoting Jan Simpson: "We are talking about thousands of dollars in bonuses paid to management, while they mismanage the public postal service, telling half-truths, and record losses that, when you look at the numbers more carefully, simply don't add up."

This season of the podcast Commons is focusing on work. In the first episode, host Arshy Mann asks, "Is there a war on workers?" This is the question this season of Commons seeks to address.
