Anonymous website advocates union members vote ‘No’ on tentative agreement with Canada Post
An anonymous website called 'CUPW Vote No' is urging postal workers to reject a tentative agreement with Canada Post, claiming the deal is worse than a previously rejected contract.
An anonymous website named 'CUPW Vote No' is advocating for members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) to vote against an upcoming tentative agreement with Canada Post. The website claims to be run by a group of postal workers, promoting a 'NO' campaign without revealing the identities of its organizers. The anonymity raises questions about transparency and accountability, especially since the site asserts no affiliation with any political organization or faction within the CUPW.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has issued a statement regarding the affiliate website, neither confirming nor denying any connection to it. They emphasize the democratic nature of their organization, encouraging all members to participate in the ratification votes that will be scheduled soon. This situation highlights the importance of member engagement as decisions about the future of labor agreements are determined.
The content on the 'CUPW Vote No' site expresses concerns that the new deal is inferior compared to a contract that workers rejected the previous year. This narrative poses a challenge for CUPW leaders as they prepare for the upcoming discussions, potentially dividing opinions among their member base and impacting the union's negotiation power with Canada Post.
