City Council Pay Increase

by

Council received a 32% increase in wages this year and it appears that they are considering a 2.3% increase on top of this to match inflation. If this is suitable to do for themselves, why not for our local. If this is the standard,  then let’s have this standard for all. Council turned down $15 minimum wage, if you increase your wages again,  your being disrespectful to everyone. Do the right thing here, no increase or provide everyone with this same offer to match inflation.   https://london.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1657282

Hi Steve and CUPE 101 members,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Wow – what a whirlwind of a month March was. I finally have time to thank CUPE 101 for your amazing support of the 19th Annual International Woman’s Day Breakfast & Auction through your Bronze Sponsorship!  As a result of your generosity we were able to raise a record amount of $ 79.335.00 towards front-line services for abused women and girls age 12 and older at this year’s event.

Best wishes and we hope to work with you again soon,

 

 

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

by

March 21 is the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It marks the anniversary of the 1960 massacre of 69 peaceful Black demonstrators in Sharpeville, South Africa by the apartheid regime.  Mindful of the recent Mosque Attack in New Zealand, CUPE Ontario calls on our members to reflect on the racial discrimination and xenophobia that persists in our workplaces, our communities, and our union—while committing to challenge it wherever it appears. In so doing, we also acknowledge the uniquely pernicious nature of anti-Black racism and the fact that ultimately there can be no racial justice without economic justice.
