As we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Tuesday, September 30th, it is important to take some time to reflect on the painful impact of residential schools and commit ourselves to reconciliation and justice for all Indigenous people.
CUPE’s has put together the information below and we would encourage everyone to read through it, reflect, and share it with your Locals and fellow CUPE activists.
Many Flight Attendants call Manitoba home yet their home Local might be in Toronto, Vancouver, or Calgary. No matter where CUPE members call home, we are with you in solidarity!
It’s time for your hard work to be recognized and compensated. The 20-30 hours unpaid must be accounted for!
If you’re a Flight Attendant who calls Manitoba home, we welcome you into our prairie labour movement!
