Avec le PL 3, le gouvernement dit renforcer la gouvernance, alors que l’effet combiné avec le PL 89 rappelle l’article 107 au fédéral et constitue une autre attaque de la CAQ contre le mouvement syndical et l'ensemble des travailleuses et travailleurs.
Dérive autoritaire de François Legault. La CAQ s’attaque de front à la principale institution qui défend la classe moyenne et le modèle québécois: le mouvement syndical.⚠️

Thank you so much CUPE delegates for your support! I draw strength and inspiration from our amazing members who work so hard, day in and day out. Working with you and for you is truly one of the great honours of my life. You are the reason I show up every day and keep fighting.

It was my pleasure to address delegates at the CUPE Airlines Division Convention. So proud to have these amazing workers as part of our union. They're the folks in the airline industry the flying public trusts. They are the ones that are keeping the skies safer and better for everyone. Solidarity!

30 years ago today I signed my CUPE union card. I was 16 years old, feisty by nature and very nervous. I never could have predicted that would be the start of my life’s work.

With the Canadian economy thrown into chaos by US tariffs and other uncertainty, now is NOT the time to be piling on a 15% across-the-board budget cut that will erode our vital public services and devastate our communities. We need a budget that puts people first. Read more: cupe.ca/federal-budg...

Our flight attendant members' only goal is to be paid for their time at work. The federal government's decision to take away their right to have a say in their future is simply not something that we can support. #UnfairCanada #UnpaidWorkWontFly

CUPE has a message for Mark Carney, Patty Hajdu and the Liberal government: You have seriously understimated our strength, our determination. You have picked a fight with the wrong union, the wrong workers, and you have definitely picked a fight with the wrong women. #unfairCanada #UnpaidWorkWontFly

Thrilled to be with CUPE 830 — Charlottetown's Municipal Water and Sewer Workers — in person at their picket line today! For the first time in 60 years, and after two and a half years without a contract, the local has had no choice but to strike for fair wages and to protect job security.

Massacre after massacre is being livestreamed before our eyes.
Alongside fellow labour leaders, CUPE National President Mark Hancock has signed a letter demanding Canada act to stop the genocide in Gaza. This means sanctions. This means a full arms embargo. This means recognizing Palestine.

CUPE stands with US labour leader Chris Smalls and all activists who were detained while delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Their arrest is a shameful attack on global solidarity. We demand their immediate release.

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs.
We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege
