CUPW Scarborough Local Newsletter

Dear _______,  

Brothers and Sisters,

Members continue to come up to me on the floor and ask " Is this really going to happen, this Modern Post - Postal transformation crap ?"  And I continue to reply "YES", coming to a station near you.  Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but in the near future, YES.  So get involved, stay informed, participate in the "Lets Stick Together" campaign on Wednesday May 12th, and any other solidarity campaign put forth by your local, Region, or National office.

Lets send Moya a clear message now:

"THE WORKERS, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED"

 In Solidarity,

 


National Consultations, May 10, 2010
 
            On May 10, 2010 National Consultations were held with the employer at Gateway with the Scarborough Local, Ontario Region, Toronto Local, Toronto Region and National Officers concerning the Technological Change notice for the GTA.
 
            As things are in so much flux, at every meeting there are changes and new information, this meeting was no different.
 
            Three of the new MLOCR[1] machines by Toshiba will be operational at SCLPP on July 26, 2010 and the mail for Adelaide will be sequenced for the current walks in place.  The facility will move in the fall and a month later the new restructure goes in.  Sequencing the mail before introducing the new delivery model with motorization and parcels, allows them to test the edit book and their other systems.
 
One MLOCR will sort the Adelaide mail, the other two will sort in BCS[2] mode, so to speak.  An additional MLOCR will be operational every two weeks after until a total of 56 are installed in SCLPP (40) and Gateway (16). The impact of these machines will ultimately reach as far as Orangeville, Newmarket and Oshawa.  The goal for Adelaide is 100% motorization with sequencing.  Other stations could be sequenced without motorization in the downtown core(s), and those routes could have 6 hours walking.
 
            New 29.03(b) Tech Changes notices have been sent on a Container Handling System and CPC is moving some FSM[3]'s from SCLPP to Gateway.  CPC has provided a tentative list of sites to be sequenced in early 2011, none in Scarborough Local, at this time.
 
            The restructure of the YDC, Don Mills, Toronto O and Toronto R will proceed as scheduled, the YDC will lose 15 tours plus about 7 relief.  The MSC vehicles will move from the YDC to the new Don Mills site.  When repeatedly asked, what will happen to the displaced MSC's, in the fall of 2010, CPC did not have an answer, and would get back to us.  Attrition?  Your truck is gone, your assignment is gone, your junior, waiting for a senior employee to leave?
 
            A Special Meeting for YDC employees has been arranged for May 18, 2010 at 07:00 PM to 9:30 PM to provide members of this facility an over view of what is coming in the next couple of years.

Dear Moya,

I am writing to thank you for the wondeful CTI bonus of $______ on April 15th, 2010.  I am pleased to inform you that I wil use the funds wisely in establishing a Personal Strike Fund.

I consider this to be another example of Canada Post Corporation being one of the top 100 corporations in Canada.

Your CUPW postal worker,
