Talk:Canadian Union of Postal Workers

Other unions
Currently, there is an unsourced paragraph that reads as follows: ''In 1989, the Canadian Labour Relations Board forced all Canada Post employees under one union. Until that time CUPW, had represented only "inside employees" with the Letter Carriers Union of Canada representing "outdoor employees" and various other unions such as the technical workers of the Union of Postal Communications Workers (Public Service Alliance of Canada) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers representing smaller units of specialized workers within the post office. After a vote, CUPW was chosen over LCUC to be the sole union representing all postal employees.''

The Letter Carriers no longer exists and I can find no evidence that the IBEW currently represents any CP workers. And I think the Labor Board did collapse many of the bargaining units but there are still 3 other active unions. I'm going to rework this information with sources. But, if anyone has some sources on the 1989 merger/bargaining unit changes, jump in and clean things up further since I'm doing a little guesswork.RevelationDirect (talk) 01:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

--You are correct, CUPW does not represent all postal workers be they letter carriers, sorters or other functions. A total of 5 unions represent Canada Post workers, CUPW is the largest, but most rural Canada Post workers are not represented by CUPW. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.239.18 (talk) 14:30, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
