The first full Meetings of CUPE Manitoba’s Standing Committees (Issues-based committees only) have been scheduled in January. These meetings have been scheduled by staff committee liaisons in coordination with the members who participated in the committee welcome meetings in November.
We strongly encourage Local Affiliates and members to circulate, share, and post this notice in order to recruit and promote the renewal of these important Standing Committees in Manitoba.
CUPE Manitoba has launched a new website – We Work for Manitoba – to host CUPE’s public campaigns in Manitoba. This website does not replace the existing CUPE Manitoba website, which will continue to serve as the website for Local resources, news, and updates.
The new website platform has been launched with two new campaign petitions to government:
SPEAK OUT AGAINST HEATHER STEFANSON’S PRIVATIZATION AGENDA
HELP DEFEND PUBLIC HEALTH CARE
Please share the campaigns and the website among your membership and help us promote them on social media!
On November 16, 2022, CUPE’s Ontario School Boards Council of Unions (OSBCU) central bargaining committee, representing 55,000 frontline education workers, provided 5 days notice of a potential province-wide strike.
The School Boards Collective Bargaining Act requires that workers employed by school boards give five days’ notice before beginning a job action.
Today is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Our union recognizes this important day, and commits to speak out against anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fascism, and hatred in all its forms.
The International Holocaust Remembrance Day takes place on January 27th in recognition of the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, where over 11 million people were systematically murdered.
CUPE Manitoba President Gina McKay offers the following response to today’s Manitoba Throne Speech:
The Provincial Conservative government’s wage mandate continues to affect thousands of Manitoba workers. Premier Stefanson must withdraw this mandate completely, and make it clear to all public sector employers that they are not bound to this mandate.
Custodians & cleaners at the Rolling River School Division have been on strike for four weeks, in part due to the provincial government’s imposition of this wage mandate, which is significantly impacting negotiations.
