CUPW Vancouver

Our national office has issued 72 strike notice. Your local executive was not informed, or received any communication from the national office until after it had already hit the media. We learned about it the same way you did.

This step was taken in part to respond to Canada Post’s notice that could unilaterally change working conditions and suspend employee rights and benefits. Canada Post walked away from the table and is purposely waiting until there is less than 72 hours to make an offer.

 This is not the time to panic. There is still time to return to the bargaining table.  Please do your best to plan for a job action, so that you are prepared in case it happens. Keep in mind that just because the notice is issued, doesn’t mean that we will strike.

 Let’s do our best to remain calm, and remain ready. We’ll let you know as soon as we learn anything more.

In Solidarity

Local Executive Committee, Vancouver Local 846

CUPW Vancouver extends our deepest sympathies and unwavering support to the victims, their families, the Filipino and Sunset communities in the aftermath of the tragic events of April 26. The harm caused is immeasurable, and while nothing can undo the pain, we are committed to assisting in the process of collective healing.

It is in this spirit of camaraderie that our Vancouver Local is organizing a local-wide fundraiser from May 2 to May 22 to support the affected communities. We will have volunteers on every work floor ready to collect donations. All of the funds we raise will be donated to United Way BC’s Kapwa Strong Fund. 100% of your donation will help provide immediate assistance, counseling and trauma services, and other critical support as the community begins to heal. The funds will also go to families that were directly impacted, will provide access to essential needs (like meal and gas vouchers), and events and spaces for the community to connect and share resources.

We believe it is equally important to raise awareness of the many mutual aid efforts and community initiatives that continue to support those impacted.

We encourage you to use the following QR code for the Vancouver Filipino Emergency Response Collective to access a wide range of helpful resources:

It includes links to additional fundraisers that directly aid individuals whose lives were irreversibly altered by the tragic events of that night. It also provides resources for counseling and other support services.

For those who wish to give further assistance and demonstrate solidarity beyond monetary donations, The VFER Collective has also compiled a list of community spaces and gatherings dedicated to collective healing.
