National Grievance File

CUPW has learned that the Corporation is violating sub-paragraph 7.2 (d) (ii) of Appendix “D” of the collective agreement by refusing to pay 2.3 ¢ for each piece of householder mail on a compressed delivery schedule, and, more specifically, for all householders intended for same-day delivery.

The Canada Post Corporation (CPC) has increased the number of bar code sorters (BCS) at the Vancouver Plant without first providing the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) with the notices outlined in clause 29.03. The Union hasn't received relevant information on the nature of the change, the date on which the Corporation proposes to implement the change, the approximate number, type and location of employees likely to be affected by the change, the effects the change may be expected to have on the employees' working conditions and terms of employment and all other relevant data relating to the anticipated effects on employees. In doing so, CPC refused to apply the provisions of Article 29 of the Collective Agreement for the Urban Operations Unit, thus violating the Collective Agreement.
