Negotiations 2023-2024 Post Office. Our Work. cupwesttp Bulletin #86 May 22, 2025 CUPW ISSUES OVERTIME BAN The National Executive Board has called for a nationwide overtime ban effective May 23 at 12:00 am local time. That means members are being called on to refuse to work any more than eight hours in a day and refuse to work more than forty hours in a week. CUPW offered a truce of two (2) weeks to continue negotiations without the threat of a strike or a lockout, but Canada Post refused. The Corporation's actions have created widespread public uncertainty which has already pushed some customers to our competitors. At this time, the Union has decided to proceed with an overtime ban to minimize disruptions to the public, and lost days to members. Should Canada Post agree to the conditions of the truce prior to midnight, the overtime ban will not go into effect. Additional actions may take place in the future including but not limited to: if Canada Post changes our working conditions, suspends our benefits, or begin layoffs. With the urban collective agreement no longer in effect, we have the right not to take overtime, even if your supervisor says it's forced overtime - because forced overtime was enabled by the collective agreement. The Negotiators continue to review and analyze the content of the Global Offers and will provide more details soon. What it Means For You: Work to a maximum of eight hours in a day, forty hours in a week. Letter Carriers are to return to the depot and drop off their mail after eight hours' work, regardless of whether they have completed their routes. All RSMCs are to return to the depot and drop off their mail after eight hours' work, regardless of whether they have completed their duties. Part time and temporary workers are permitted to extend, to a maximum of 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week. This is a legal strike action. All CUPW members must follow this direction. You cannot be disciplined for participating in a legal strike acti…

Power and politics episode. Title: Netanyahu accuses Carney of 'emboldening Hamas' after D.C. shooting Description: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked Canada, France and the U.K. in his response to the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, saying that 'when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice. Israel's Ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed responds to the countries' joint warning of sanctions over Israel's expansion of the war in Gaza, telling Power & Politics that 'Israel has the capability of conquering Gaza in half a day.

I would like CBC to stop airing Israeli propaganda like this, or they could just be defunded.

80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B.

This post is such a rich text

1) Trump is clearly making it up as he goes. There's no plan

2) He barely knows what's happening in his own administration

3) Posting something like this publicly speaks to the complete decision-making dysfunction that we also see in Signalgate

Halifax council's acquiesce to police demands is cowardly and shameful - Halifax Examiner Halifax councillors raise bus fares and raid the library fund to increase police budgets, keep the purchase of armoured vehicles off budget, and otherwise just roll over to any police demands.

If they need to build more houses we shouls be asking why the government isn't building any houses.

Defunding the state to deliver higher profits to the housing industry? Why not!
