No One Is Illegal Vancouver Solidarity with CUPW

No One Is Illegal Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories is writing to
express our support for the members of the Canadian Union of Postal
workers. During the lockout from Canada Post, we proudly rallied alongside
CUPW workers and supported workers on the picket lines and in autonomous
occupations of MP offices. Now, with the passage of Bill C-6, the Harper
government is furthering attacking postal workers and all working people.
As expected, the government imposed a wage increase that is less than the
last offer presented by Canada Post management.

Despite that, we are confident that members of CUPW will continue the
fight. You are our neighbours and members of our community. In addition to
the important services you provide to us, individually and as a Union you
have stood with us in our struggles against colonialism and racism. The
Canadian Union of Postal Workers has a long history as a progressive voice
for working people, and those marginalized by the exploitative system in
which we live. We commend your principled stance for maternity benefits,
your opposition to the occupation of Afghanistan, your support for
Security Certificate detainees, your solidarity with migrant and
undocumented workers, and your role in leading the labour BDS movement for
a free Palestine.

We will be encouraging our supporters to attend on Monday, June 27 from
11:30am – 2:30pm at the Main Post Office, 349 West Georgia St to express
our solidarity with CUPW workers as your struggle continues against Canada
Post for fair wages & conditions and to “show the bosses and their
government that we are ready to fight.” Your current fight against the
neo-liberal, privatizing agenda of the Harper regime is our fight too, and
we are proud to stand up as your allies.

In solidarity,
No One Is Illegal-Vancouver Coast Salish Territories
