Update on reimbursement cheques during postal strike

Brad Walchuk Uncategorized

It is likely most of the September Prosure benefits payments have been held up in the postal system because of the postal strike. This is because early September claims couldn’t be processed until the membership list came out on September 23. Prosure processed them all that day, and then the strike started September 25.  As for current claims (ie/ those made during the strike starting on September 25th), Prosure is holding off on sending cheques out until the labour disruption passes. Effected items include dental plan reimbursement, health care spending account reimbursements, and gender affirmation/reproductive health fund reimbursements.
For professional development claims, which are processed by Local 3906, reimbursement cheques are being held at the CUPE 3906 office (KTH B111) until the end of the strike. You can arrange to pick up your cheque by emailing staff@cupe3906.org to coordinate a pickup time. Otherwise, the Local will be mailing out any cheques that are not picked up at the conclusion of the strike.
Solidarity with CUPW members on strike for a fair collective agreement and a robust network of public post and parcel delivery!
