Sister Simpson,
Re: Solidarity with striking CUPW Workers
On behalf of the 320,000 members of Unifor, please accept the full expression of solidarity from our union to yours as you continue to strike and bargain with Canada Post.
Postal workers connect individuals and communities across Canada and have done so for a very long time. In these challenging times, keeping our post office public, and defending the very good jobs you are fighting for today, is essential in ensuring a country where families and communities are supported and can thrive.
Please know that our union supports postal workers, just as we support and will defend our right to free and fair collective bargaining, including the right to strike.
I am encouraging our members across the country to support your picket lines, and I remain available to discuss anything else our union may do to support your members until a collective bargaining agreement is reached.
In solidarity,
Lana Payne
National President
