Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) – Fighting for Equality: Backgrounder Number 3

This 1984 Backgrounder addresses the importance of the fight for equality by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). It notes successes—including paid maternity leave, seniority rights, fair job classification, equality for part-timers, and across-the-board dollar increases—and outlines steps CUPW has taken to build equality and unity within the union. It further highlights equality issues still affecting postal workers, including racism and sexism, and the special problems facing women and parents. It is one of several pamphlets on equality.
