CPC "disrespectful behaviour" in Quebec

In response to the November 7 demonstration, Canada Post cancelled the November 8 national consultation meeting, which was to discuss the proposed closure of the Québec City Plant. Canada Post said they did not possess the "sérénité nécessaire" to have constructive consultation. CUPW representatives from the National Office and Montréal had traveled to Québec City to discuss the impacts of the closure on both Québec City and Montréal.

Canada Post indicated it was preferable to re-schedule the cancelled meeting. We think it would be preferable to cancel the Quebec City closure.

Canada Post is now claiming the demonstration was "highly disrespectful behaviour targeting management, including inexcusable threats outside of the workplace." They have issued an Intercom bulletin entitled "CUPW Activist Tactics Disrespectful."

We say Canada Post's plans to eliminate jobs, relocate our members and put our temporary workers on the unemployment lines are "inexcusable threats" to our members, our families and our homes.
