🌈 Pride Week Message from CUPE Local 3550 🌈

CUPE Local 3550 proudly stands in solidarity with 2SLGBTQIA+ members, workers, and communities during Pride Week and every week of the year.

We recognize that Pride is both a celebration of love, identity, and resilience, and a reminder of the ongoing work needed to ensure workplaces are safe, inclusive, and free from discrimination for everyone.

As a union, we are committed to advocating for equity, dignity, and respect on the job and in our communities. We support the right of all workers to show up as their full, authentic selves without fear.

This week, we celebrate the strength, contributions, and leadership of 2SLGBTQIA+ members within our local and beyond.

A great day to FIGHT BACK! Hope to see you at the rally! 9924 101A Ave Edmonton 11:15am to 1:00pm

CUPE has submitted a comprehensive response to the federal government’s consultation on reforms to the Canada Labour Code and the federal labour relations framework.

CUPE says that recent federal interventions in collective bargaining disputes – including repeated use of Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code – have undermined free and fair bargaining by encouraging employers to delay negotiations and rely on government intervention rather than negotiating agreements at the table.

Strong labour rights create stability, fairness, and real labour peace. Any attempt to weaken collective bargaining rights would undermine democracy in the workplace, and amount to a major step backwards for workers in Canada.

Le SCFP a soumis un mémoire exhaustif dans le cadre de la consultation du gouvernement fédéral sur la réforme du Code canadien du travail et du cadre fédéral des relations de travail.

Le SCFP soutient que les récentes interventions du gouvernement fédéral dans les conflits de travail, notamment le recours répété à l’article 107 du Code canadien du travail, ont miné le droit à la libre négociation collective en encourageant les employeurs à faire traîner les discussions à la table et à attendre une intervention gouvernementale au lieu de négocier de bonne foi.

La stabilité, l’équité et une véritable paix industrielle reposent sur des droits forts pour les travailleuses et travailleurs. Toute tentative d’affaiblir la libre négociation collective porterait atteinte à la démocratie au travail et constituerait un recul majeur pour l’ensemble des travailleuses et travailleurs canadiens.
