It’s important that we all stand in solidarity with all unions on strike. CUPE would like to share this message from the CUPW Prairie Regional Office.
If you are interested in joining a picket line in Winnipeg, signs are available through our CUPE office. Please feel free to reach out for more details.
***On Behalf of The CUPW Prairie Regional Office***
As we have done in the past rounds of bargaining, CUPW has negotiated an agreement with Canada Post to ensure that Socio-Economic Cheques, including pension checks and child tax benefit checks, are still delivered. We do not want pensioners and people that rely on government assistance to suffer due to the strike.
As a result of performing this delivery, our picket lines will have less picketer’s available than usual and any assistance that could be provided by affiliate unions to help us on our picket lines would be a great show of solidarity.
On November 20th and 21st CUPW members will be delivering Socio-Economic Cheques. We are asking anyone that would like to show their solidarity and help boost the picket lines please do so by finding the nearest picket line location to them at the following link: https://act-cupwsttp.nationbuilder.com/picket_lines.
Please share this message with any of your locals or affiliates across Canada. Thank you!
In Solidarity,
CUPW Prairie Region
