Halifax: Delivering Community Power

July 12, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

How postal workers are moving public services to climate action

Postal workers have put forward a bold vision to make Canada Post into an engine for a climate-friendly economy by investing in green jobs that reduce emissions while benefitting low-income and rural communities.

Now, the Harper-appointed administration of Canada Post is planning to lock them out of their jobs in July, while a public review decides the future of this profitable public service.

Dru Jay from Friends of Public Services and a representative from CUPW will discuss the postal workers’ vision and the alliance that’s backing it. Opportunities for networking and discussion will follow a brief presentation.

Help us create a postal service for the 21st century! Visitwww.deliveringcommunitypower.ca and www.publicservices.ca for more information

Sponsors: Friends of Public Services, CUPW Nova Local, Leap Manifesto, RankandFile.ca, Council of Canadians
