UPDATE – Canada Post and CUPW labour negotiations

October 16, 2024 Mediators appointed to assist in negotiations with CUPW

Yesterday, the federal government appointed mediators to assist Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) as the parties continue to negotiate new collective agreements for both the Urban and RSMC (Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers) bargaining units.

The mediators will assist the parties in the negotiations and support discussions toward reaching negotiated agreements.

Process under the Canada Labour Code

The appointment of mediators does not change the negotiations timeline under the Canada Labour Code.

The parties continue to negotiate during a 21-day cooling-off period that ends on November 2. Only after the cooling-off period ends would either party be in a position to initiate a labour disruption (following a minimum notice of 72 hours). This timeline means no labour disruption can occur before November 3.

Working to reach negotiated agreements

We continue to work with CUPW to reach negotiated agreements that not only avoid a labour disruption, but also put us in a strong position to invest in the business and our employees, and meet the evolving needs of our customers. 

Our commitment to customers  

We deeply value the trust that customers put in us to deliver for their business, and we understand that seasonal planning is done months in advance. If there is a strong possibility of a labour disruption, we’re committed to letting customers know as quickly as possible.

Sale 560 September 10th

Welcome to our 560th Auction Sale.
We hope this catalogue finds you well and keeping safe. This is an unprecedented time we are living in with the Novel Corona 19 virus. As you can imagine, the government stay home orders and the safety concerns related to this virus have created a new way of doing business for everyone including us here at R. Maresch & Son. We are currently working with a “family only” crew in the office, which allows us to keep together safely. Our son Charlie 10 and daughter Jillian 8 have been helping with the many odd jobs that need to be done including learning to catalogue collections. Many of you may have talked to Jill as she has taken to answering the phones. The fourth generation of Maresch’s has begun. Our April sale was remarkably successful, realizing over 120% of pre-sale estimates. Since we were not able to have a live auction floor, we held the sale through Stamp Auction Network’s online bidding platform. We were incredibly pleased with the audience and participation that we received. We will continue to hold our public unreserved auctions but for the time being we will not be having a live floor to keep us all safe. To participate in this auction please use Stamp Auction Network’s live bidding. We will also, as usual be accepting bids in our normal methods of mail and email. We will be doing our best to accommodate as many of our clients for viewing as possible in our offices. We will be holding viewing by appointment, to keep everyone safe. Masks are now mandatory in York Region, where the office is located. Please make sure to bring one. ae have hand sanitizers at the front door and in the viewing area also.
This auction has many lovely individual items as well as large multi-carton lots. Canada including Large Queens, Nova Scotia, British Honduras are just a few of the collections we are offering in this sale.

Be safe and keep family close.

Sale 557 Auction

To all our valued customers:

We are gratified to share with you the extremely positive experience we had in conducting our very first live internet auction held on April 22nd/23rd and to thank those of you who so vigorously participated.

Online ordering, the cheapest method in the US, is easiest for people who don’t have the ability to go online to the online pharmacies that specialize in Ivermectin without a prescription is the brand name of Ivermectin, one of the largest antiparasitic drugs on the market. An online pharmacy is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration since it is the first non-pyrimethamine, antacidol and antitumor drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of a disease. To get Ivermectin for Covid, you would only need to fill out a pharmacy form in order to buy Ivermectin, you must have a prescription for Ivermectin for Covid or prescription for other drugs used to treat Covid 19, and follow the instructions. You may also purchase online over the counter by purchasing from a pharmacy through the online pharmacy needs to have a license from the Secretary of Agriculture to certify that the prescription was received from or authorized by the Secretary of Agriculture. The new, anti-AIDS medication approved by the FDA to be used for treating a variety of diseases and conditions and are available for a nominal cost. Ivermectin for Covid is an antacids medicine produced by Stromectol Laboratories and distributed in the United State alone, according to CDC and the International Federation of the Red Cross.

As all of you are aware, the current Covid-19 situation resulted in the postponement of this sale from the originally scheduled date in March and the social distancing laws precluded the sale from being held at our office.

The departure from our usual in-house format was one that transitioned seamlessly into a live online format where our consignors benefitted from a much wider audience of bidders.  

We were able to extend real time sales to collectors in 17 countries including all parts of Canada and the United States.  This resulted in higher prices realized for the material in this auction.

For some of you this was a step into a new way of enjoying your stamp collection involvement and we commend you for your success in quickly and efficiently moving to the live online experience.    For us it was also a brand new way of doing business and we were very pleased with the way the auction proceeded, particularly in view of the enhanced benefits for our consignors.

Going forward, we hope to be able to continue to conduct quality auction offerings using this live internet process and perhaps provide more sales with fewer lots per sale in order to make your experience more enjoyable in a shorter auction period.  We know the hours were long and we appreciate your continued engagement at your computer screens from start to finish.

Please stay tuned for news of our next sale and once again, thank you from R. Maresch and Son.
