/R E P E A T -- Media Advisory - Rally for pensions, pay equity and sustainable public services/

MONTRÉAL, July 29, 2016 /CNW/ - Canada Post is not taking key negotiations issues seriously. CUPW is calling on the Liberal government to use its considerable influence to ensure, as its shareholder, that Canada Post is onside with the federal government's objectives to improve pensions, pay equity and the public postal service.

Who:	Canadian Union of Postal Workers and friends
What:	Rally for pensions, pay equity and sustainable public services
When:	Saturday, August 6, 2016 at 1pm EST
Where:	Montreal at the Prime Minister's constituency office
	There will be a march from Parc Saint-Alphonse (corner of Émile-Journault Ave and Chateaubriand Ave.) to Justin Trudeau's office at 529 Jarry Street East, Suite 302
	Buses will depart from Ottawa and Quebec (details to follow)
Why:	Instead of negotiating with postal workers and using their experience to improve the post office, Canada Post is dragging its heels and sticking to their Conservative-era agenda. It's time to ask the Prime Minister to tell Canada Post to start negotiating now.
