A union is YOU and YOUR CO-WORKERS coming together to improve your working conditions.
Together with your co-workers you will have the ability to decide what aspects of your job need to change for the better. Without a union contract, an employer can change the terms and conditions of your employment by themselves at any time.
Who is CUPE?
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is a strong democratic union. CUPE is leading campaigns for higher wages, job security, and real solutions to the staffing crisis in our workplaces, and affordability crisis in our communities. We fight to protect high-quality publicly funded services. We are grounded in principles of solidarity, equality and justice in our workplaces and in society.
CUPE is Canada’s largest union with 750,000+ members. At CUPE, the members are in charge, electing your own leaders and setting priorities for negotiations. Members are supported by a CUPE National staff representative for every bargaining unit and have access to legal, research, organizing, and communications resources.
