CUPW has concern about pickup data.

Formal introductions 10:20

CPC explains how we define a pickup in terms of cargo van verses 5 ton. This will be refined. Rocky tells group that a script is in the plan to contact all customers, to ensure the pickups will continue. 1001 pickups are current. Rocky wishes to ensure that the scanners and the IDBs are audited for the accuracy of pickups. CUPW wants to be sure that current routes are properly measured. Franchises must be addressed now, both CUPW and CPC agree. CUPW has data where 5 ton pickups are being done, they should be light vehicle. CUPW believes a list of suspect pickups should be complied. Rocky puts forth that this issue be tabled after Aug. Steve has data that there is weekend delivery,

Rocky has knowledge of Flex delivery but not of any other. Rocky wants more information. Mail pollution is still an issue. The issue must be addressed. Regular parcels for MSC’s are still going to station. Rocky will discuss with Jim Gilbert arrange for volume sample to identify the problem. CUPW suggested Toronto J, for sampling.
