We stand in unwavering solidarity with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) as they take strike action in defense of their members, good jobs, and the future of Canada Post.
The government’s decision to gut door-to-door delivery, lift the rural moratorium on post office closures, cut back delivery standards, and impose service reductions is an attack not only on postal workers, but on the public services that Canadians rely on every day. These short-sighted cuts put jobs at risk, weaken communities, and deny people—especially in rural and remote areas—the universal service they deserve.
Postal workers have been clear: Canada Post does not need to be dismantled. It needs to be strengthened, modernized, and expanded, with bold investments and revenue diversification that support a greener economy and stronger communities. Instead, the government has chosen austerity over innovation.
As public service professionals, we know that when services are cut, people suffer. We share CUPW’s outrage at this betrayal of trust and lack of public consultation. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with postal workers as they fight back against this government’s reckless approach.
We encourage PIPSC members to join CUPW picket lines in their communities, show visible solidarity, and amplify CUPW’s message. Together with our labour allies, we will demonstrate that when one public service is under attack, we all stand up to protect it.
An attack on one public service is an attack on all public services. Together, we will defend good jobs and protect the services Canadians count on.
