Canadian Union of Postal Workers Courier Local Strike Fund Benefit

TORONTO BICYCLE AND WALKING COURIERS ARE STANDING UP FOR THEIR BASIC EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers Toronto Courier Local was established in
September of 2010 to represent bicycle and walking
couriers and improve their working conditions. We
are incorrectly classified as “independent
contractors” and as such:
• Receive no Vacation Pay or Paid Statutory Holidays
• Frequently are paid less than Minimum Wage
• Do not have access to Employment Insurance
• Usually are not covered by WSIB
Our jobs are dangerous and physically demanding,
and we deserve a living wage. After years of
delaying tactics and continued refusals to bargain
from the employer we are now preparing for strike
action and WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Join us on September 13th for an evening of
music, food, beer and solidarity.
