Today, on the Workers' Day of Mourning, people across the country will gather to honour workers who have been killed or injured on the job. #WorkersDayOfMourning cupe.ca/events/worke...

Happy International Women's Day! 🍞🌹 CUPE women have always been at the forefront of the fight for gender justice. To achieve justice for all women, we must dismantle all forms of oppression including racism, transphobia, ableism, homophobia and colonialism. #IWD cupe.ca/event/intern...

During #BlackHistoryMonth CUPE celebrates and highlights Black history and culture. Our union honours the ancestors and leaders of Black communities, their accomplishments and their continued fight for liberation. #BHM2026 cupe.ca/event/black-...

If you missed CUPE's virtual town hall with the federal NDP leadership candidates, you can now watch it online. Remember, if you want a say in choosing the new leader, you need to be a member of the NDP. The deadline for membership is January 28. Join now at npd.ca youtu.be/nyeNNBq7ISg?...

CUPE is outraged by the United States’ unlawful and lethal attack on Venezuela. We unequivocally condemn these actions and stand in solidarity with the workers and people of Venezuela. Their future is uncertain and their right to self-determination is in jeopardy. cupe.ca/statement-us...

CUPE townhall with NDP leadership candidates Wednesday, January 7, 7:30 PM Eastern / 4:30 PM Pacific Don't miss your chance to hear directly from the people who want to shape the future of our country! cupe.ca/cupe-votes-t...

Workers in Canada deserve a strong social safety net to catch us when we hit a rough patch, and a reliable employment insurance program is a key part of that. CUPE is working with other union to push the federal government to improve the provisions of #EI. cupe.ca/rebuilding-o...

On December 10th, people around the world stand up for equality, justice and human dignity by celebrating #InternationalHumanRightsDay. CUPE's long-standing commitment to human rights springs from our understanding that human rights and workers' rights are deeply entwined. cupe.ca/event/human-...

The national child care program has been life-changing for families across the country. But I am concerned that Carney seems to be backsliding on one its most important facets: limiting the flow of public dollars to for-profit child care companies. cupe.ca/federal-gove...

7 out of 10 workers experienced harassment or violence at work according to a 2022 survey. Has anything changed since then? @canadianlabour.bsky.social is trying to find out. Make your voice heard—take the Respect at Work survey today. canadianlabour.ca/respect-at-w...

On December 6th, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women, we remember the women who lost their lives in the École Polytechnique massacre, including CUPE member Maryse Laganière. #December6 cupe.ca/event/nation...

Happy I got to spend some time this morning with @cupe1281.bsky.social-33. They have been on strike since October 27. They are standing strong in the face of the York University Faculty Association, who came to the table demanding over 100 concessions! Solidarity!

December 1 is World AIDS Day, and the start of Indigenous AIDS Awareness Week in Canada. Our union continues to support the global AIDS movement that struggles against discrimination and fights for improvements in public health services. cupe.ca/event/world-...

Too many amazing moments to capture them all today as tens of thousands of labour and community activists poured into the streets of Montreal today to stand up to Premier Legault and his CAQ govt's increasingly hard turn to the right. Dans la rue pour le Québec! #polqc #assnat

Proud to stand in solidarity with CUPE 1281 members who work for YUFA, the York University Faculty Association. They are fighting for job security and health and safety protections. Courage, my friends, you have the strength and support of 800,000 CUPE members on your side!

I am so happy to be joining members at the Fall 2025 weeklong union education school in Nanaimo, BC! It's always great to meet local treasurers and trustees and pass along vital knowledge at the financial officers' training. @cupebc.bsky.social

Folks at NBRHC show up for patients every day. Real solutions mean funding, staff, and respect, not layoffs. Join us to defend hospital care in Northern Ontario with CUPE 139. cupe.ca/cupe-slams-o...

Avec le PL 3, le gouvernement dit renforcer la gouvernance, alors que l’effet combiné avec le PL 89 rappelle l’article 107 au fédéral et constitue une autre attaque de la CAQ contre le mouvement syndical et l'ensemble des travailleuses et travailleurs.

Folks across Canada rely on the right to strike to win fairness. Government should not suspend it behind closed doors. Add your name to repeal Section 107. cupe.ca/repeal-secti...

Folks working part-time or precarious jobs are too often shut out. EI is our social safety net. Tell Minister Hajdu to fix access and raise benefits so workers aren’t left behind. cupe.ca/take-action-...

Our SMU part-time instructors are on strike today, joining MSVU on the line for fairness and security. Precarious work and class cuts aren’t a plan for strong universities. Solidarity!

Our members in Nova Scotia keep classrooms learning and communities strong. They deserve fair wages, job security, and benefits they can count on. Stand in solidarity with MSVU part-time faculty and CUPE 3912 today.

Amazing energy at the rally against privatization at CUPE Convention 2025 in historic Roundhouse Park in Toronto. #CUPE2025 #SCFP2025

Thank you so much CUPE delegates for your support! I draw strength and inspiration from our amazing members who work so hard, day in and day out. Working with you and for you is truly one of the great honours of my life. You are the reason I show up every day and keep fighting.

It was my pleasure to address delegates at the CUPE Airlines Division Convention. So proud to have these amazing workers as part of our union. They're the folks in the airline industry the flying public trusts. They are the ones that are keeping the skies safer and better for everyone. Solidarity!

30 years ago today I signed my CUPE union card. I was 16 years old, feisty by nature and very nervous. I never could have predicted that would be the start of my life’s work.

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...
