A Message from the Chief

I would like to tell the members that came out to campaign Tuesday morning, that I’m very very proud of them. It took courage to walk up and down the sidewalk not knowing what the consequences may be.
I believe it was a job well done and I hope that our superiors realize we are serious and committed to this fight.
Now that being said I would like to apologize to the members of the 4am and 7am shifts for not explaining what was going on. But only members from the off shifts could participate in Tuesday mornings campaign and the least amount of people knowing about it, the less chance the university would hear about it.
So again I apologize.

God Bless CUPE 926

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.
