September 2025
On Thursday, September 25, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) once again declared a nationwide strike in protest against staff reductions at Canada Post. As a result, 55,000 postal workers across the country have walked off the job.
This is not the first such action. In the final months of 2024, postal workers also went on strike for 32 days, standing up for their rights and working conditions.
The current strike has been launched in response to federal government policies aimed at eliminating door-to-door mail delivery and closing many rural post offices — measures intended to justify workforce reductions.
The CUPW has denounced these government plans as “unfair and unilateral,” warning that if such policies persist, all members of the union are prepared to resign collectively in protest.
The union has reaffirmed that it will continue the strike and persist in its demands until a fair and just resolution is achieved for all postal workers.
We express our solidarity and full support for the striking postal workers of Canada. The policies pursued by governments and capital interests around the world, despite their superficial differences, share a common nature — they prioritize profit over workers’ livelihoods and public services.
Workers in Iran have likewise endured years of struggle against privatization, workforce cuts in public services, and the spread of temporary contracts. We stand with the striking postal workers of Canada and declare that, through class organization and global solidarity, workers everywhere will achieve their rightful demands at both the national and international levels.
In solidarity with the 55,000 striking postal workers of Canada.
Long live international workers’ solidarity!
