Winnipeg – Manitobans, including CUPE health care support workers, will be demonstrating outside the constituency offices of Conservative Members of Parliament in Winnipeg, calling for a new federal Health Accord.

International Women’s Day in Cambodia is closely associated with the women who make the clothes you might be wearing as you read this. Their unions play a key role in organizing IWD events in that country.
All week the Cambodian government has been moving police and troops into position. Tomorrow an estimated 30,000 women garment workers are expected to celebrate IWD by attending an open-air ‘Forum on Labour Rights’ in Phnom Penh.
WINNIPEG – Manitoba’s budget, which was tabled on Thursday afternoon by Finance Minister Jennifer Howard is a straight-forward, pragmatic budget that focuses on ensuring that Manitoba’s public services receive the resources needed to maintain the programs that Manitobans rely on, says CUPE.
“We are encouraged that the NDP is not cutting public services and jobs like we’ve seen in other provinces, or even federally” states Kelly Moist, President of CUPE Manitoba.
