Calling All RSMC

Canada Post  is headhunting and the heads belong to RSMCs.

• In Depot 4 there are 36 RSMC routes with only 11 being held by  RSMCs.  
• In Depot 7 there are 19 RSMC routes  with 14 being held by  RSMCs.  
• In Depot 11 there are 30 RSMC routes with only 8 being held by RSMCs

In these depots alone there are approximately 85 RSMC routes with approximately only 32 being held by RSMCs.  That means less than half of our jobs are being done by RSMCs.   Approximately 60% of our jobs are not our jobs!!   They have been taken away from us by the Corporation!  Some of these jobs have been vacant for over a year.  Most, if not all, have not been posted on the CPC web site and as of this date are still not there.  

Not to mention, that if and when we find a relief or helper Canada Post takes them to.  Leaving RSMCs constantly in search of a new relief and/or helper.  If this sets well with you, then come 2011, when our contract is up, you will be happy to be out of a job.  

If this doesn’t sit well with you, then it is time for you to file those grievances.   Stop saying, “What has my Union done for me except take my money?”   Get involved!!    Believe it or not, I represent you, BUT YOU ARE THE UNION!!   Yes this might be harsh but it is time for you to take ownership of your part of your Union.
