Here We Go Again - Our Plan For Postal Strike, The Sequel

Jeff Green | May 21, 2025

The existential battle between CUPW and Canada Post has progressed to its next altercation point, which is something that was easy to predict back on December 14, 1014, when the workers were ordered back. Not wanting to force a resolution of the dispute, the government of Canada, under Justin Trudeau, simply froze it until May 22nd.

The report from William Kaplan to Minister Patty Hajdu, of the new Mark Carney government, which was delivered on May 15, was intended to provide the context for a deal, but since Canada Post welcomed the report and CUPW did not, a strike has been called for May 23rd.

That means this paper has reached you in the mail, but next week it may not. There may be a deal before then, there may be a strike or Minister Hajdu may intervene.

If there is a strike, we will, reluctantly, do the same thing we did in November and early December. The paper will be delivered to as many locations as we can line up, throughout Frontenac County.

Here is a partial list of locations:

Ormsbee’s Mercantile, Storrington Lions Hall, Inverary Home Hardware, Inverary Pharmasave/the cookery, Maple Country, Sydenham One Stop, Sydenham Foodland, Sydenham Convenience Store, Gilmour’s Meats, Verona Foodland, Muddy Waters, Local Family
Farms, Verona Hardware, Verona Convenience, Godfrey General Store, Hope’s Store, Mike Dean’s, Sharbot Lake Chiropractic, Ram’s Esso, Sharbot Lake Petro Can, Maberly Hall, C4 Convenience, Kennebec Hall, Kaladar Ultramar, Freeburn’s General Store, (Flinton), Northbrook Foodland, Northbrook Lions Club, Northbrook Petro Can, Finnegan’s Store, Milligan’s Meats, Glaeser’s Store, Rosie’s, North of 7, Clar-Mil Hall, Ompah Hall, Snow Road Hall.
