rcmp applicants 

RCMP Applicant; a person who applies to become a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer
While awaiting the various steps needed in becoming a RCMP Officer, RCMP applicants/ candidates go through all kinds of emotions, i.e "did I disclose everything, am I fully prepared for panel interview; what about the PARE (fitness test)", and so many other things; potentially driving themselves crazy with uncertainty, anxiety, and confidence! Everything they require in order to proceed!

Only candidates know this; thus others, as supportive as they may be, don't understand; sometimes suggesting "maybe you should be a teacher, or a carpenter etc.!

The union has approximately 54,000 members and has a long history of militancy originating in 1965 when the union was formed out of the old Canadian Postal Employees Association.
CUPW - they are there to protect members to the fullest! Protection which includes, bullying, harassment, intimidation, and my favourite, wrongful dismissal! CUPW does a amazing job protecting workers!
