Workers across the province are struggling to keep up with rising costs. Meanwhile, the Alberta government refuses to allow a fair wage increase. They expect us to do more with less, while MLAs get raises and budgets shrink for frontline public services.

Enough is enough. We’re fighting for fair wages, job security, and the respect we deserve. And we won’t back down.

STRIKE MYTH: Workers are being greedy.

TRUTH: We’re just trying to keep up with the cost of living.

Workers shouldn’t have to work two or three jobs or rely on food banks to get by. Fair wages are not optional. They’re a necessity.

CUPE education workers are the backbone of Alberta schools. They’re striking because they can’t afford to stay in the jobs they love.

Tell the provincial government: fund education NOW.

Over 6,000 education workers are now ON STRIKE. These are the people who keep our schools running: education assistants, custodians, library staff, and more.

Enough is enough. Stand with them. Fight for better education funding, now.

Mr Horner😒. Disappointing. Elected officials may not be at the table negotiating but your hired bulldogs are. We, in your own local , sat at the table with the rep carrying out your governments mandates.
