Resources

Collective agreement and By-laws

Your collective agreement sets out your rights and responsibilities in the workplace.  If you have questions about your rights at work, talk to your steward or a member of the executive.

Your union runs by the local by-laws set out by the membership and the CUPE constitution through CUPE National.

Your local also has a closed “CUPE 1182” Group on Facebook. As this is a closed group, you will need to be accepted into the group by an administrator of the group, which currently is only the local executive. A friend within the group can invite you to the group.

Educational Opportunities

CUPE offers a wide and varying choice of education opportunities for the members. PLEASE contact your local executive should you be interested in taking any courses. The following link will provide you a list of the courses available in our province.  Education Workshop Calendar | Canadian Union of Public Employees
