CUPE Local 998 (Chief Steward Bryanne Koehn, Recording Secretary Natalie Sinclair & Treasurer Michael Kubrakovich) joined to support our brothers and sisters from CUPE 1063 as well as CUPES Previous National President Brother Paul Moist!

Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends,

The hardworking members of CUPE Local 1063 do important work to keep the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba running.

These workers currently have a strike mandate and are holding an Information Rally on Tuesday, November 8 from Noon to 12:45 PM in front of the WCB building at 333 Broadway in Winnipeg.

The rally is being held to call on their employer to reach a fair deal that includes fair wages and stops the employer’s call for concessions at the bargaining table.

We encourage all affiliates to join the rally in support of CUPE 1063 and the staff at WCB.

In Solidarity,
Kevin Rebeck
President of the Manitoba Federation of Labour and proud member of CUPE 1063

September 30, 2022 marks the 2nd annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

On this day we honor the lost children and Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Widespread public commemoration and acknowledgement of the tragic and painful history, continued impact, and intergenerational trauma of Canada’s residential school legacy is a vital component of the reconciliation process. You can visit the NTRC website here for more information about events happening around Winnipeg and across Canada.

Today at 12pm at City Hall in Winnipeg – Treaty 1, ATU Local 1505 will be holding a Rally for improved safety measures for workers and riders of the transit system.

For those in Winnipeg, and who are able to come within their work day, we wanted to make sure you had the information ahead of time.

We were also just able to confirm that our National President, Mark Hancock will be joining the Rally from 12-1pm between meetings, while in town for a short visit this week, and we are pleased that he will be able to join some of us at the rally. For those who are out of town and not able to join us tomorrow, Brother Hancock will be back in Winnipeg for CUPE MB Convention and you will have an opportunity to connect with him then as well.

Information for the Rally:
We will bring along CUPE flags and for a meet up location, just look for the CUPE flags in the courtyard of City Hall @ 510 Main Street.
Please see the attached poster for information from ATU 1505.
