An amazing turnout on a beautiful sunny day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to support Air Canada Component of CUPE flight attendants and the fight to end unpaid work!

Join me on Parliament Hill tomorrow as I support Air Canada flight attendants' fight against unpaid work. unpaidworkwontfly.ca #UnpaidWorkWontFly

Mark Carney's office says it's working with unions to "build Canada strong." That's a bit rich coming from the government that abused the Canada Labour Code to try to force flight attendants off the picket line. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

With the Canadian economy thrown into chaos by US tariffs and other uncertainty, now is NOT the time to be piling on a 15% across-the-board budget cut that will erode our vital public services and devastate our communities. We need a budget that puts people first. Read more: cupe.ca/federal-budg...

Our flight attendant members' only goal is to be paid for their time at work. The federal government's decision to take away their right to have a say in their future is simply not something that we can support. #UnfairCanada #UnpaidWorkWontFly

Not until we get a collective agreement that works for flight attendants. Not one minute sooner!

CUPE’s National President Mark Hancock – YYZ – August 16th 2025

Because every day people understand the very simple idea that workers should be paid for every hour on the job! #UnfairCanada #UnpaidWorkWontFly

88% of Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants, new poll confirms cupe.ca/88-canadians...

CUPE has a message for Mark Carney, Patty Hajdu and the Liberal government: You have seriously understimated our strength, our determination. You have picked a fight with the wrong union, the wrong workers, and you have definitely picked a fight with the wrong women. #unfairCanada #UnpaidWorkWontFly

Thrilled to be with CUPE 830 — Charlottetown's Municipal Water and Sewer Workers — in person at their picket line today! For the first time in 60 years, and after two and a half years without a contract, the local has had no choice but to strike for fair wages and to protect job security.

99.7%!! That’s what solidarity looks like. Air Canada flight attendants are demanding real negotiations. Not stalling tactics. They’re ready to end unpaid work and poverty wages. Flight attendants deserve respect and fair pay. Share to show your support. #unpaidworkwontfly cupe.ca/air-canada-f...

Massacre after massacre is being livestreamed before our eyes. Alongside fellow labour leaders, CUPE National President Mark Hancock has signed a letter demanding Canada act to stop the genocide in Gaza. This means sanctions. This means a full arms embargo. This means recognizing Palestine.

CUPE stands with US labour leader Chris Smalls and all activists who were detained while delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. Their arrest is a shameful attack on global solidarity. We demand their immediate release. #LetAidIn #AllEyesOnGaza #AllEyesOnHandala

Charlottetown Water and Sewer workers on strike today for the first time in their 60-year history to protect their job security and demand fair wages that reflect their contributions to Charlottetown.

Underpaid, overworked, and lacking basic protections, workers at JRRCC took action and joined CUPE 5213. This win is part of a growing movement of child care workers demanding dignity, stability, and a seat at the table. CUPE is proud to welcome them into the union. cupe.ca/bucking-anti...

Too many Indigenous communities are still living under decades-old boil water advisories. Instead of supporting Bill C-61, which would bring change, the Ford Conservatives chose to oppose it. CUPE stands with Indigenous leaders demanding clean water and accountability. cupe.ca/respect-indi...

The Ford government and WSIB are once again choosing corporate interests over Ontario workers. Just days after a legal strike, 26 good union jobs are being outsourced to a U.S. company. I stand in full solidarity with OCEU/CUPE 1750. This fight is far from over.

Porter Airlines is a Canadian success story but its cabin crew have been left out for too long. Forming a union with CUPE means having a real voice at work and a seat at the table where decisions get made.

Health care workers are doing more with less, while patients face longer wait times and reduced services. Public health care needs investment not privatization. Sign the petition to demand full public funding and protect care for all. cupe.ca/act-now-keep...

Canadians didn’t vote for cuts, and we won’t stand for them either. We will fight to defend against the devastating impacts that Mr. Carney’s cuts will have on communities from coast to coast to coast. cupe.ca/carneys-cuts...

Congratulations to the members of OCEU/CUPE 1750 for standing strong and securing a fair deal. Your determination and solidarity sent a clear message to the WSIB and beyond: Ontario workers won’t back down when our rights are under attack.

Bill C-2 is a direct attack on human rights, migrant rights, and digital privacy in Canada. It opens the door to mass surveillance, data sharing with foreign governments, and the mass deportation of migrants. CUPE is calling on the federal government to withdraw this bill. cupe.ca/stop-bill-c-...

Outsourcing this critical work behind closed doors is a serious betrayal of injured workers and the frontline staff who support them. WSIB needs to stop playing games and get back to the bargaining table where real solutions are found. cupe.ca/wsib-quietly...

So proud to bring the strength and solidarity of 750,000 CUPE members to the picket line of CUPE 5525, striking workers at the Villa Colombo assistant living facility in Toronto. They are fighting for their first ever collective agreement. Solidarity!

Proud to be out today in Toronto in support of CUPE 1750 who have been on the picket line for five weeks across Ontario. These CUPE members are the backbone of Ontario’s workplace safety net. Their fighting spirit is an inspiration! Show your support 👉 cupe.ca/oceu

With a huge swath of the Ontario and Quebec melting under brutal temperatures, it's a good time to remind CUPE members to protect themselves from heat stress at work. 🥵Download our fact sheet for more information and remember you have the right to refuse unsafe work! cupe.ca/heat-stress

On June 21, CUPE acknowledges the ongoing, fierce advocacy of our Indigenous members and Indigenous communities across the country. cupe.ca/event/nation...

Happy to be finally celebrating this historic milestone for workers' rights! My sincere gratitude to the tireless union activists and advocates who fought for decades to make this moment a reality. Together, we’ll keep fighting until every province follows suit! cupe.ca/cupe-celebra...

Forcing a vote on postal workers is an abuse of power by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Hajdu, plain and simple. It is an attempt to intimidate postal workers, and all workers, into accepting less and less. cupe.ca/forcing-vote...

Sending solidarity to SCFP 5514, which represents nurses on Hydro Quebec construction sites protecting the health & safety of their co-workers. They are fighting for their first collective agreement. The strength of 750,000 CUPE members is with them on this three day strike!

This is an outrage! Canada has denied respected anti-apartheid and labour leader Jay Naidoo a visa, even though he and his wife have a home and family in Quebec. Tell Prime Minister Mark Carney and government MPs to grant Naidoo a visa and permanent residency without delay.

CUPE has joined over 400 legal, human rights and labour leaders in urging Prime Minister Carney to take immediate, meaningful action to stop the genocide in Gaza. As G7 host, Canada has a responsibility to help end the violence and support accountability. Silence is not an option.

This strike is about safe workloads, fair pay, and stopping the outsourcing of Ontario jobs to American firms. Our members deserve better. Injured workers deserve better. cupe.ca/wsib-workers...

As the climate changes, and we experience more extremely hot days, the risk to workers' health is increasing. CUPE's fact sheet on heat stress offers strategies, but governments across the country need to put new regulations in place to protect against this new threat. cupe.ca/heat-stress

Every year, 2SLGBTQI+ CUPE members and our allies come together to celebrate Pride and demand an end to transphobia, homophobia, and oppression. We once again call on governments and employers to prioritize safety for Two-Spirit, queer, and trans workers. cupe.ca/cupe-celebra...

The wildfires in northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba are a vivid reminder that climate change is not a distant threat. The thousands of people who are being displaced are living the reality of climate change right now. cupe.ca/cupe-calls-u...

Investor landlords are pushing the costs of housing out of the reach of too many people. The new federal government needs to make the human right to housing a priority by using all available resources to prioritize those in the greatest need. #Right2Housing More info 👉 t.co/LgPKLvhiEW

Sending support and solidarity to the CUPE 1750 members who are on the picket line this morning. They are the skilled and dedicated workers who provide much needed services to injured workers at Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.

The union representing about 10,000 hospital and long-term care staff in Ottawa vowed to fight Mayor Sutcliffe’s plan to create ‘bubble zones’ that would prevent health care workers from exercising their charter rights and organizing demonstrations outside their workplaces. cupe.ca/ochu-cupe-co...

CUPE 2073 has been on strike for four weeks, facing an employer that is not serious about bargaining. This is a group of passionate, hard working advocates who provide services for Deaf and hard of hearing people all across Ontario and they need your support! See below for the picket line near you.

Paramedic Services Week begins this Sunday and I want to take a moment to salute the courage, dedication and professionalism of emergency medical service workers across Canada, including the over 9,000 paramedics that CUPE represents. cupe.ca/event/parame...

CUPE members and supporters turned out for an honour guard this morning as members of SCFP 2614, longshore workers at the Port of Québec, returned to their jobs today after a lockout that lasted 987 days. Sending my respect and solidarity to the local. scfp.qc.ca/haie-dhonneu...

Happy to be with members at the CUPE Manitoba convention in Brandon today! It's been an amazing year and the province has seen some big wins since this time last year. Across the province, in every sector, CUPE members are demanding better and demanding more, and rightly so.

Happy #NationalNursingWeek! CUPE nurses are on the frontline every day, working with skill and compassion. Let's honour them with fair pay, safe working conditions and a strong public health care system. #canlab cupe.ca/event/nation...

Proud to be out on the line today with CUPE 2073, our members who provide vital supports to thousands of Deaf and hard of hearing people across Ontario. Canadian Hearing Services, is treating our members outrageously—refusing to negotiate or extend the terms of their contract.

With a new Liberal government and new PM getting ready to appoint a new cabinet, now is a good time to remind them of the importance of a national strategy for child care. Sign now. cupe.ca/lets-shine-l...

It is bittersweet to be in BC today. I am so happy to be among CUPE members at the @cupebc.bsky.social convention, even as I share in the deep sadness so many are feeling after the horrific attack on the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver last weekend.

Happy May Day! Today CUPE celebrates International Workers' Day, the labour movement’s collective strength, and our ability to protect and fight for our public services, the working class and our hard-earned rights. #MayDay cupe.ca/event/may-da...

Asian Heritage Month begins tomorrow, a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions members of Asian communities have made to CUPE and to Canada. Victories in the struggle against anti-Asian racism have strengthened our movement and our communities. cupe.ca/event/asian-...
