Important notice about HEU convention deadlines in the event of Canada Post service disruption

On July 4, Canada Post issued 72-hour lockout notice to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) raising the possibility that postal services could be suspended by this Friday.

In the event of postal service disruption, HEU will provide instructions to locals on ways to submit convention credentials, accommodation forms, resolutions and constitutional amendments, and submission forms by the August 2 deadline.

Please note, the August 2 deadline is mandated by the HEU Constitution and By-Laws, and late submissions cannot be accepted.

In the meantime, please be sure to keep copies of all completed documents, including credential forms, constitutional amendments and resolutions, and accommodation forms with the date submitted.

Again, we will post information on our website and attempt to contact local executives by email and voicemail with further instructions should postal services be disrupted.

HEU encourages our members to show solidarity and support for postal workers, who are fighting to protect their pensions and achieve pay equity for rural postal workers.
