Media Advisory - Postal Workers Plan For Canada Post's 2016 Annual Public Meeting

OTTAWA, August 17, 2016 /CNW/ - Representatives of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers are planning to attend Canada Post's annual public meeting and confront its elusive President and CEO, Deepak Chopra.

"Chopra's got some explaining to do," said Mike Palecek, national president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

"Harper's man in the post office has been a disaster from the get-go, when he began by shutting down the mail with a nation-wide lockout. Since then, he's slashed our services, spent who knows how much on mailboxes nobody wanted, refused to deal fairly with us, and now he's twiddling his thumbs at the negotiating table, waiting for an arbitrator to rescue him from having to negotiate."

WHO:	Mike Palecek, national president, Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and others
WHAT:	Canada Post Annual Public Meeting
WHEN:	Friday, August 19, 2016 at 11 AM EST (Registration begins at 10:30 AM)
WHERE:	Canada Post head office conference centre, 2701 Riverside Drive (a webcast is also available from Canada Post's website)
WHY:	The post office belongs to all of us.
