CUPE 926 campaigns to raise awareness around Contract Cleaners

campaignOn a wet and humid September morning, WLU held a press conference to name the new School of Business and Economics. What they didn’t expect to see was twelve members of CUPE Local 926 campaigning against the University’s decision to contract out the cleaning services of the newly named Lazaridis Hall.

Big thank you to all the members who came out, as well as the many texts, phone calls and waves from the members who couldn’t be with us. We received encouraging words from members of both WLUFA and WLUSA.
