Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Canada Post, union remain divided but talking; Moncton, Victoria hit by strike
VANCOUVER, BC (June 7, 2011) Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Moncton, N.B., and Victoria became the latest Canadian cities to be hit by the rotating postal strikes Tuesday June 7, 2011, now in their fifth day.
The job action by members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers began at midnight local time and were scheduled to last 24 hours.
About one thousand of the 50,000 urban postal workers represented by the union were off the job.
In announcing that the rotating strikes would continue, CUPW told its members Monday that Canada Post had made some positive moves but also took several steps backwards.
The Crown corporation rejected the latest proposal from union negotiators, but backed away from its own thorny proposal to create more part-time positions to deal with a decline in mail volumes.
“With the hope that (the union) would start to address the issues facing the postal system (as) Canada Post has offered to withdraw this key proposal,” the corporation said in a statement.
Canada Post spokesman Jon Hamilton said Monday that negotiations with the union’s urban bargaining unit were continuing in hopes of getting a settlement, but added the union’s latest proposal was too costly.
“It’s just too expensive and still doesn’t help us get anywhere near where we need to be in terms of addressing the challenges facing Canada Post,” Hamilton said.
Canada Post says CUPW’s proposal didn’t offer solutions to problems such as declining mail volumes, increasing competition and electronic substitutions for traditional mail.
The union says Canada Post continues to refuse to address issues that include pensions, health and safety and disability coverage as well as demands for innovation and service expansion to keep the Crown corporation profitable.
“In Victoria and Moncton, the public has suffered deterioration in postal service due to Canada Post’s changes to the way mail gets processed and delivered,” John Bail, national director of the Pacific region for CUPW, said in a statement.
“We have been saying all along that these changes don’t make sense,” he added, referring to the consolidation of postal plants and what the union calls “convoluted processes” that have been created for the sorting and shipment of the mail.
Jeff Callaghan, CUPW national director of the Atlantic region, said that in Moncton “we have not only seen the restructuring of postal plants, but also job cuts that hurt our local communities.”
The company claims most of the postal network continues to operate despite the strikes.
But businesses have warned that the system will soon get “gummed up” once the walkout expands to larger centres.
“One problem will beget another problem further down the food chain and the system will become gummed up, I would imagine, in a week to 10 days,” said Dan Kelly, senior vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
