Service expansion is the way forward, says CUPW (Canadian Union of Postal Workers).  

In striking  a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Canada Post to introduce a trial of a new same-day parcel delivery service with CUPW, Canada is following many other postal administrations where city center quick parcel deliveries are a valued service for customers. 

Launched in the Greater Toronto Area, the service enables goods ordered from participating retail stores before 1pm to be delivered between 5.30 and 9pm on the same day.

"The Union and the Corporation continue to meet under the MOA and exchange ideas in an attempt to secure additional committed customers with the objective of having a successful project." says Gayle Bossenberry, 1st National Vice-President
1re vice-présidente nationale CUPW-STTP.

 CUPW is supportive of this e-commerce project as they believe that it is service expansion, not cutbacks and closures, which is the solution to the problems associated with the decline in letter mail.
