The Canadian Union of Postal Workers plans to launch a legal challenge in Federal Court against a decision to end home mail delivery, which they say is a human rights violation.
Paul Cavalluzzo, a Toronto lawyer representing the union, said he will likely file the application in the next week asking the court to stop Canada Post’s termination of home delivery. He said he will also consider an injunction to pause the transition from home delivery to community mailboxes until the court reviews the Canada Post decision.
The application will argue that the elimination of home delivery contravenes the section of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that gives people the right to equality without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
Cavalluzzo said he will also argue that Canada Post Corporation Act doesn’t empower the crown corporation to make the decision to end home delivery.
“We believe that if such a fundamental service as home delivery is eliminated than that has to be done by parliament,” Cavalluzzo said.
The third argument Cavalluzzo will make in the federal court application is that the elimination of home delivery violates the United Nations’ convention on the rights of people with disabilities.
Cavalluzzo said when the crown corporation announced they would eliminate home delivery on Dec. 11, 2013, Canada became the first G8 country without it.
