Hey Harper - Hands off my post office! (Help stop Bill C 44.)
 Bill C 44 was introduced by the Harper government last June. This bill will remove international mail from Canada Post's exclusive privilege to handle letters. Our jobs and relevance to the Canadian public both depend on the exclusive privilege and C 44 will significantly weaken it. We must do all we can to stop this bill from passing.
What you can do:
- Educate yourself. Start with a visit to our National web site. The actual bill can be found HERE. A Google search will also help.
- Contact Rob Merrifield, minister responsible for Canada Post, requesting that the government consult with the public on the Canadian Postal Service Charter. (Contact info is available HERE, and remember you can mail him postage free.)
- Download, print and sign CUPW's letter, (available HERE), and mail it postage free to your member of parliment. If you are not sure who your MP is, you can find out by clicking HERE and using your postal code.
