TORONTO LOCAL RECOMMENDS TO VOTE NO
Sisters and Brothers:
We are asking that our newly hired members and Temporary workers register to vote at cupw.ca/en/member-contact-information-form or [email protected] so that they can vote on the extended collective agreement that has been voted on with a recommendation to vote yes by the National Executive Board. THE TORONTO LOCAL EXECUTIVE RECOMMEND A NO VOTE.
It is important that you vote. There is nothing in the MOA for temporary workers, the Local has put in demands for staffing as an example that if a part time or temporary workers are working 8 hours for an extended period of time that the Corporation would reclassify the job and create part time or full time positions.
We have demands in for the two tier pay system so that our new members and our temporary workers do not have to wait for 7 years to reach the top rate of the classifications. This is so that we have equal pay for equal work.
The Local believes that if we go on to start negotiations we can achieve some of the language in the demands submitted by our members to protect our workers and create more jobs. The demands meetings were healthy discussions on the issues facing workers in Toronto.
If the Membership does not vote it will be like voting yes, every vote counts! If you as members want to protect the rights that you have, and achieve better rights under the contract we have to negotiate. A two year extension is too long.
Register to vote today, the deadline in August 3rd, listen to the debate and let your voice be heard.
We are proud to stand with our new members and temporary workers as they are being ignored in the tentative agreement.
In Solidarity

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
