UNI Global Union has expressed its support for Canadian postal workers following the Canadian government's announcement of major changes to Canada Post. The proposed changes involve significant service reductions, which the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) says will negatively impact public postal services and workers’ rights.
In response, CUPW has initiated a nationwide strike. UNI Global Union has stated its solidarity with CUPW members, emphasizing that postal workers internationally are united in defending public services and labor rights.
Jan Simpson, National President of CUPW and recently elected World President of the UNI Post & Logistics sector, said, “This slapdash approach, without full public consultation, is an insult to both the public and postal workers.”
