CUPW Responds to Minister Flaherty regarding Canada Post's Pension Plan Funding Relief December 13, 2013 Dear Minister Flaherty: Re: Canada Post Pension Plan Funding Relief I am writing in response to your letter of December 10, 2013 to me. In your letter you advised me that the Government of Canada was "proposing to provide Canada Post with temporary four-year relief from making special payments required under the "PBSA". The first notice that the Canadian Union of Postal Workers ("CUPW") had of this moratorium took place during a phone call on December 10, 2013 between officials from the Department of Finance, representatives of the bargaining agents at Canada Post and members of the Pension Advisory Council (PAC).

Replacing door-to-door delivery with Community Mail Boxes is a totally unnecessary measure that will penalize millions of people. The CUPW will work with community groups, pensioners, organizations of disabled persons, individuals, municipal politicians, the labour movement and everyone to preserve door-to-door delivery in their communities. In the 1980s a Conservative government led by Brian Mulroney tried to close and privatize all but eleven of the retail outlets of Canada Post.

In 1993, the first act of the newly-elected Liberal government was to introduce a moratorium on postal closures.

The corporation has options other than slashing services and should give these options serious consideration. CUPW has compiled information showing there is little support for what Canada Post is doing and considerable support for alternatives to cuts.

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is extremely alarmed at this rash decision to gut public postal service for millions of Canadians. “If this happens, it would be the end of an era for Canada Post,” said Denis Lemelin, CUPW National President. “We recognize that Canada Post needs to change, but this is not the way!” CUPW has consistently advocated for innovation and service expansion to create a financially viable and service oriented postal service for the future.
