Ratification of Collective Agreements Signals New Phase of Fight to Defend Postal Workers and the Postal Service

– Interview, Learie Charles, President, Scarborough Local,
Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) –

TML: Can you explain the results of the recent contract vote that concluded May 30 and what comes next?

Learie Charles: Postal workers have now ratified both the urban and rural collective agreements. The urban vote was close to 90 per cent and the Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers’ (RSMCs) vote was almost 86 per cent in favour of the contracts. One thing that is not known yet is how many workers actually voted. In our local it looks like just about 30 per cent of the workers participated. I think that’s because they are just fed up with the whole experience of negotiations, government attacks and the refusal of Canada Post to negotiate. Negotiations really only began after the strike was ended in October 2025 and an agreement was made on December 22, 2025, that until the negotiations finished we would not strike. Now, once the agreement is signed there cannot be any kind of strike action until January 31, 2029 when the contract ends. We are legally bound to that. Traditionally they have been very harsh if any job action takes place during the life of the collective agreement. [More]
