Postal workers join other community members to help restore #Door2Door mail service

Pushing back against cuts in home mail delivery

Londoners saw two neighbourhoods (postal codes N6G, N6H) converted to Self-Serve Mailboxes AFTER the November 2015 election, while four other postal codes (N5V, N5W, N5X, N5Y in east London) were threatened. The best way to protect all our communities is to push back hard NOW and demand the Liberals keep their promise to restore door-to-door mail service in these areas.

This is a chance to restore this service and stop any further conversions! Please go to the Friends of Public Services Petition and sign. Tell this government that you expect more from them and our public services.

The Conservative-led cuts to door to door imposed self-serve mailboxes on communities, with many negative effects, including:

• increased theft

• reduced accessibility for seniors

• new municipal costs

• traffic congestion

• increased pollution and litter

...among other issues!

Delivering Community Power: Meanwhile, postal workers and a broad coalition of civil society groups have backed a bold plan to expand services and make the post office a driver of the climate-friendly economy.

RESTORE: The Liberal government promised to restore door to door during the 2015 federal election. Now, a Parliamentary committee has recommended restoring service in the areas that lost it in the last round of cuts again.

Help us press to Restore Door-to-Door!

Delivering your voice: 4800+ signatures delivered!

Delivering Community Power delivers 4800+ signatures to the Prime Minister's office today in Ottawa (withPeople.4.PostalWorkers).

Canada Post CEO Deepak Chopra opposes pay equity, refuses to consider service expansion, and is pushing a privatization agenda. It's time to boot this Harper goon. We tell the PM that we want more from our public services.

How postal workers can move public services for climate action

7pm, July 29

Bread and Roses Bookstore (870 Dundas St E)

Please help us spread the word by forwarding this message and/ or inviting people on Facebook.

Postal workers have put forward a bold vision to make Canada Post into an engine for a climate-friendly economy by investing in green jobs that reduce emissions while benefitting low-income and rural communities. 

Dru Jay from Friends of Public Services and a representative from CUPW will discuss the postal workers’ vision and the alliance that’s backing it. Opportunities for networking and discussion will follow a brief presentation.

And please remember: the deadline for submissions to the public review of our postal service is July 31st!  

Please add your voice before it’s too late. 

Let them know you want home delivery restored, protected and expanded as part of a new vision for our postal service. Thanks for being a part of this!

A Harper-era appointee at Canada Post, named Deepak Chopra, has refused to step down, and is moving forward on his plan to cut our postal services. We can stop him if you take action right now.

We know that Chopra used to be an industry lobbyist and supports cutting services and raising prices for all of us.[1] We can’t let that happen.

Let me be clear: The government has an opportunity to not only stop the cuts, but to use our postal service to build a more equitable, sustainable economy in Canada.[2]  

We’re joining a range of organizations to put forward an innovative plan to use our postal network to address our country’s climate and economic challenges, with a made-in-Canada electric fleet, postal banking, green infrastructure, and community services.

The government can either cave to Harper appointed lobbyists, or embrace a 21st century vision for Canada’s postal service. If enough of us speak out they’ll have no choice but to listen. Canada Post is profitable today, and has been for most of the past two decades.That’s why Chopra and his cronies want to exploit this valuable public resource.  Let’s not let that happen.

The deadline to get on the public record is July 31st!  Please add your voice before it’s too late.

Let the Canada Post review know that we want home delivery restored, protected and expanded!

Although Minister Judy Foote knew last year when she was an opposition MP that the forced conversion of door to door delivery to self-serve mailboxes was a bad idea, she has now decided that the whole process needs to be reviewed. A postal review is long overdue (it is actually mandated by law under the Canada Post Act, a fact ignored by the previous government). We should seize this opportunity to let them know we value our publicly-owned Crown Corporation and the services it delivers -- despite attempts by the previous government to claim it is 'unprofitable' while trying to sell it off to their corporate buddies.
