The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says Canada Post wants to cut door-to-door delivery and put everyone in community mailboxes -- which the unions claim will make it harder, especially in the winter months, for everyone to get their mail.
Tony Villeneauve tells Tide News Canada Post also wants to raise the cost of one stamp to $1. He says they need the public support in St. Stephen, for people to sign the petition, call their Mp's, write their MP's, and let them know that this is not what the people of St. Stephen deserve. He calls this an attack on workers, corporations, and on service.
Villeneauve says CP wants to cut 6000 to 8000 jobs nationwide over 5 years. He says that translates into 4 job losses in St. Stephen alone.
CUPW will be marching in front of MP John Williamson's office on Monday, January 27th on Milltown Blvd in St. Stephen.
You can sign the petition opposing the job cuts and raise in stamp prices by going to www.savecanadapost.ca .
