The union representing Canada Post workers will be meeting with the Public Workers Minister on Wednesday evening.

In a release announcing the meeting, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers says it will focus on the Union’s response to the government’s move last month in announcing cost-cutting measures.

The government has given Canada Post permission to end door-to-door delivery across the country, and close post offices in rural and remote communities.

The union says it’s the wrong approach that will cost thousands of jobs “and will make everything worse for Canadians, the public service, and bargaining.”

CUPW says they’ll be demanding the Minister publicly rescind the changes.

In the meantime, some 55,000 postal workers remain off the job.
