Help make our workplaces safer

: 29 October 2020

Dear sisters, brothers and friends:

Last week, we saw the unveiling of the first ever national survey on workplace violence and harassment in Canada. The survey is being conducted by the Canadian Labour Congress and researchers at the University of Toronto and Western University in London, Ontario.

Eliminating violence and harassment in the workplace is and will always be a top priority for CUPE. In order to take up this challenge most effectively, we need more information and better information about how it happens, and how to stop it. The information gathered from this survey will go a long way to help unions, employers and policymakers create safer workplaces for everyone.

For that reason, we are strongly encouraging all of our members and locals to complete the survey over the coming months. It doesn’t take long (30 minutes or so) and the survey is completely anonymous. We’re asking you today to share this survey far and wide, and encourage your members to participate.

All of us have a role to play in ending workplace violence and harassment. Please help make our workplaces safer by encouraging your members to have their say today.

In solidarity,

MARK HANCOCK
National President

CHARLES FLEURY
National Secretary-Treasurer

In Saskatchewan, we are public service voters.

: 22 September 2020

As CUPE members, we know that our work delivering a reliable network of public services enrich our communities and peoples’ lives.

But, we need a government that will reliably fund and keep our services public.

That’s why as we approach provincial and community elections this fall, it’s important to vote for public services.

Through the Public Service Voter campaign launched last week, CUPE Saskatchewan will highlight the many public services that keep our communities safe, cared for, and an affordable place to live and raise our families – and we will also highlight the facts and track record of governments at the community and provincial level.

Each week from now and until November, Local Unions will receive a Public Service Voter Update For Locals with information to share and links to online actions members can take to support public services.

Campaign information will be shared on CUPE Saskatchewan’s facebook page and available online at: https://www.publicservicevoter.ca

Join and share the campaign to support Saskatchewan’s public services.
