Update On the Toronto Local Executive Elections

Dear Sisters, Brothers and Comrades 
 

The Local Executive is aware of the March 12, 2023 bulletin by President Qaiser Maroof. The bulletin speaks to President Maroof overturning and redoing both rounds of the 2023 Toronto Local elections.  Late on March 12, 2023 the Toronto Local Executive held an emergency executive meeting to discuss this issue. President Qaiser Maroof was given the opportunity to attend the executive meeting and did not. As such the following motions were unanimously passed by the Toronto Local Executive.

 

1.     The Toronto Local Executive votes to reverse the decision of Toronto President Qaiser Maroof, made in his bulletin dated March 12, 2023.  Where he has ruled “a new election from start to finish for all the positions be conducted”.  The counting of ballots shall continue as determined by the election committee. 

 

2.     The Toronto Local Executive votes to file a formal complaint and requests an investigation of the acts of interference in the 2023 Toronto Local Executive elections by Qaiser Maroof.  We request he be immediately removed from office pending the completion and decision of the investigation done on behalf of the National Executive Board.

 

3.        That Toronto Local pay all the expenses for the Third Party ( includes the security) hired by Election Committee to count the Toronto Local second round elections
ballots . The Election Committee will hire the third party to complete the work .

The Toronto Local Executive will endeavour to keep the membership updated on further developments as they occur.

UNION HALL

Sisters, Brothers, Comrades:

 

Please join the Local in celebrating truth and reconciliation for our Indigenous workers with a blessing and refreshments at the Local Union Hall on this important day.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed annually on September 30 to honour Survivors of residential schools, their families, and Indigenous communities. This day provides an opportunity to recognize the painful legacy of residential schools, reflect on the ongoing impacts of colonialism, and support meaningful reconciliation.  It matters because

We honour the children who never returned home from residential schools.

We Recognize the experiences and resilience of Survivors.

It encourages learning about Indigenous histories, cultures, and contributions.

It also promotes action toward reconciliation and respectful relationships

Ways for our members to participate

  • Wear orange to recognize Orange Shirt Day and support awareness of residential school experiences.
  • Attend local Indigenous-led events, ceremonies, or educational programs.
  • The Toronto Local CUPW holds a celebration every year at the Union Hall at 47 Densley Ave, North York
  • Come join in and hear the speakers and help celebrate this important day.        

In Solidarity, An Injury to One is an Injury to All
