Our biggest campaign – by far – is now closed

The Canadian postal workers campaign is now closed.  It received a total of 13,821 messages sent – here’s a breakdown by language:

  • English 11,955 (9,053 from Canada; 2,902 from elsewhere)
  • French 1,567 (1,317 from Canada; 250 from elsewhere)
  • Norwegian 161
  • Spanish 92
  • German 46

Here’s what the union had to say to us:

CUPW wants to thank LabourStart for this campaign.   It buoyed our spirits, made it clear that for many people back to work legislation is unacceptable, and put pressure on the Minister.   Although the back to work legislation was ultimately passed, the help and support form Labour start made a difference for CUPW members.
Even though we  have been ordered back to work, our  fight is not over.    CUPW’s members heads are held high and we will continue to work for respect, dignity, and a sharing of the benefits.   We will demand our rights in the workplace, and continue to work with allies for fairness for postal workers and to regain our right to free collective bargaining.  We will work with our allies  for justice locally, nationally, and internationally.   We are proud of the struggle we have waged and are determined to continue it.
CUPW looks forward to continuing to work with Labour Start.

  • 250 in French “from elsewhere” is already a good score. We can certainly do better but so far we have only achieved that number Canadians included.
