2020 ELECTIONS TO RESUME
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the Vancouver local was forced to postpone the 2020 annual election. With no end in sight to restrictions on gatherings and social distancing we need to look at an alternate solution to conduct the 2020 elections. Due to these restrictions we are unable to use any Canada Post facility to carry out our election.

TEMPORARY PEAK PERIOD WORKFORCE URBAN
One of Canada Post’s key demands during the past two rounds of bargaining was to get some sort of flexibility or labour savings for the delivery of parcels on weekends.
During the last round, the parties negotiated Appendix “JJ” which would allow for the creation of a parcel delivery workforce. CPC has rarely used this provision. This round they put forward a new proposal for a Temporary Peak Period (TPP) workforce.
