We have sent three delegates to the annual CUPE Ontario convention, happening this week in Toronto.

Day two has been an inspiration! Electing our first Black woman President and our first Indigenous woman Secretary-Treasurer! Proud to witness this moment of history.

We’ve also heard from Avi Lewis, Federal Leader of the NDP, this morning. He reminded us that “the antidote to despair is action.”

Let’s keep working! 💪🏻

We have sent an additional email to the employer requesting further clarity. As soon as we have more information, we will share.

Good morning,

We are aware that there appears to be an issue with pays for today. We have contacted the employer to investigate the issue. As soon as we have more information, we will be sure to pass it along.

We can absolutely appreciate how stressful this is.

In solidarity,
