The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has set a goal of unionizing the folks you deal with behind the postal counter in hundreds of Canadian drugstores, including Shoppers Drug Mart. According to CUPW, there are more than 2000 such counters across Canada and the number is growing. The “pharmacy post offices” have been part of Canada Post’s divestiture of bricks and mortar post offices. The union says that so far it has organized 211 employees in Montreal and Saskatoon at other pharmacies.
