Members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) set up picket lines early this morning at the Canada Post mail processing plant on Glanford Avenue to protest against the corporations efforts to impose a new short term disability system that was clearly rejected by almost 9 out of 10 of those employees.

Our members voted 88% in favour of strike action because they dont want the new short term disability system, said PSAC National President, John Gordon. They just want to protect the sick leaves and family leaves they have acquired in the past, he added.

The collective agreement between PSAC and Canada Post expired on August 31, 2008. The union served the employer a notice to bargain on May 1, 2008, and the negotiations began on June 4, 2008.

  • Mary finally got caught with all her lies!! Not that I ever believed one thing she said. I also noticed that only indeterminate employees are covered by STD plan. So I was right, terms have no coverage, and there are alot of terms in the call centres. Shame on CPC!! And not willing to move on the 7 days to 10, when we normally have 15!!

  • Canada Post is an abusive employer!

  • you see goverment don't work they are all bunch of bozo's. the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer.dont quit, keep the good job...
