Strategic Review of Canada Post / Bulletin
2008-2011/213
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
As you may know, the government’s Strategic Review of Canada Post has recommended against deregulation.
During the strategic review process, it was made clear that opposition to postal deregulation is widespread. The public is opposed. Many federal politicians and municipal representatives are opposed. Groups representing seniors, rural residents, people with disabilities, labour, students and civil society oppose deregulation.
In spite of this, the government has introduced Bill C-44 which amounts to deregulation of international letters.
It doesn’t make sense to be proposing legislation before you look at an issue. This bill is now in the second reading stage.
Contact your local MP and ask them:
Do you support deregulation or not?
Do you support postal workers and their families?
Ask them to oppose deregulation.
Ask them to vote against the Bill C-44, instead of sending it to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
Help fight to save our public post office. We can’t afford to wait!
Contact your MP today to find out where they really stand on saving our post office!
We must act now!!
In solidarity,
Gayle Bossenberry
1st National Vice-President
