Changes at HMPP!

July 30, 2024

After much lengthy back and forth discussions, we were able to achieve amendments to Management's hard line position related to day positions, where we have pushed back based on Article 14.30 to increase day positions and to adjust schedules.

Negotiations Update

May 23, 2025

There's a lot information out there and to try and clear up some confusion, the information as it stands right now is Canada Post appears to have conceded to the Union that IF they are going to enact any actions against us, whether that be suspension of the contracts or lock out, they're required to give 72 hour advance notice just as the Union did. Consequently, until such time as the boss serves that notice, we're still working under the collective agreements with all rights, benefits and protections.

That said, given the Union issued a 72 hour notice, we've actioned that notice by asking the Membership to refuse ALL overtime. It's still the Union's goal to negotiate fair and just collective agreements for the urban and RSMC bargaining units.

We'll continue to update you as more information comes out.
