CUPW members deserve our support as they navigate week four of job action! The Manitoba Federation of Labour (MFL) distributed the following message to all its affiliate unions this morning. If you’re available at 12 pm on Friday, December 13, you’re invited to partake in picketing activities at the Provencher Blvd postal office.
Dress warm and bring the heat!
LOCATION: 208 Provencher Blvd. in Winnipeg on Friday, December 13 at noon
After a year of stalled negotiations, CUPW members made the difficult decision to walk the picket line for fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to retire with dignity – basic rights that every worker deserves. They’re also fighting for the future of our public postal service.
Canada Post’s management and their allies want to close post offices, slash jobs, and make it harder to receive your mail. Canada Post is a public service and should not be parceled off to private interests. It belongs to all of us. We can’t let that happen. The MFL is holding a SHOW OF SOLIDARITY RALLY in support of postal workers who are out on strike for a fair deal!
In Solidarity,
Kevin Rebeck
President, Manitoba Federation of Labour
