Dear members,

Unifor has reached a tentative agreement with DHL that is being unanimously recommended by the committee.

We will be setting up ratification votes shortly and will update you as soon as we have more details.

We look forward to a return to operations.

We thank you for your tireless efforts and solidarity on picket lines – some battling record-high temperatures. This is what builds worker power.

In solidarity,

National DHL Bargaining Committee
 

TORONTO—Unifor members at DHL Express Canada have reached a tentative agreement after more than two weeks being locked out and on picket lines across the country.

Details of the agreement will not be disclosed until a ratification meeting is held, which will take place in the coming days.

Members,

We know many of you have been concerned seeing replacement workers being bussed in past picket lines and want to know what the union is doing to fight against it.
Yesterday, Unifor has filed a formal complaint with the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) alleging blatant violations of federal anti-scab legislation by DHL Express Canada and calling for the maximum monetary penalties allowed under the law.

TORONTO—As Unifor members at courier giant DHL Express Canada remain locked out and on strike across the country, the union draws attention to this year’s International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF)’s Safe Rates campaign that demands fair pay, good jobs and safe roads for truck drivers and couriers.

Members,

We want to make you aware of a brazen attempt by DHL Express Canada to circumvent new federal labour laws. The company has sent a letter to the federal government requesting a special exception from the effects of Bill C-58, the anti-scab legislation that comes into effect on Friday.
