BC General Employees’ Union labour disruption
Service update: Labour disruptions at BC General Employees’ Union and Canada Post
Due to the ongoing BC General Employees’ Union labour disruption and the nationwide Canada Post strike, physical mail services are currently on hold. This affects the delivery of pension documents and other mailed communications.
We are actively monitoring both situations and have processes in place to ensure essential services, including the electronic delivery of pension payments, will continue without interruption.
What this means for you:
- Pension payments will continue as scheduled via direct deposit
- Physical mail delivery is paused until further notice; printed cheques will still be processed, but delivery will be delayed
- Members are encouraged to use Message Centre via My Account to send and receive documents securely
Your experience is important to us. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
This page will be updated as new information becomes available.
