Canada Post workers launch petition, town hall meeting over service cuts
By Colin Payne
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers Nelson local marked the first sitting day of Parliament in 2014 by launching a petition against planned changes to service by Canada Post.
Nelson Local president, Brenda Muscoby-Yanke was outside the Nelson Post Office collecting signatures against service cuts by Canada Post that could see a loss of door-to-door mail delivery in Nelson and other urban areas across Canada.
The petition is available for signing at the Nelson Post Office, some businesses on Baker Street and also at a town hall meeting scheduled for Feb. 18 at Hume School.
“We’re hoping Canada Post will show up,” says Muscoby-Yanke. “And we’ll have Alex Atamanenko and some union representatives. There will be a question and answer forum in response to the five-point plan that Canada Post has brought forward.”
