Postal workers complete strike vote today
By Lea Storry, Calgary Herald April 17, 2011 Comments (16)
Canada's unionized postal employees will complete a strike vote today as they negotiate with Canada Post over a new contract.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has been holding strike votes since March 25 as the union decides on potential job action. A strike or company lockout could become reality at midnight on May 24.
"We'll know how strong the strike mandate is next week," said Denis Lemelin, CUPW president. "The goal is always the same -to achieve a collective agreement."
The last Canada-wide postal strike was in 1997.
Canada Post is hopeful it will reach an agreement with workers and avoid a national strike before the end of conciliation.
Negotiations have been ongoing for six months. The union, representing 45,000 urban operations such as letter carriers and postal plant workers, is asking for improvements in areas such as wages, benefits and pensions.
Canada Post spokesman Jon Hamilton said the company has reinvested profits in its employees and the business. He noted a $2-billion upgrade in new technology is a badly needed improvement.
The move is a point of contention for the union. While the union said it understands changes are needed, it's concerned the new equipment would eliminate jobs, intensify the work process and reduce job rotation.
To put pressure on the employer, the union asked for conciliation on Jan. 21. A global offer was tabled by the corporation in March and shot down by the union.
Meanwhile, striking postal workers at the St. Albert Post Office returned to work Friday morning after being ordered to end their wildcat walkout by the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB).
The Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers are members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, but have a separate contract. Bev Ray, president of the Edmonton Local 730 of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said the 15 employees were protesting wage cuts.
