May 1 – International Workers’ Day

Today, CUPE 998 recognizes May Day — a day rooted in the fight for fairness, dignity, and respect in the workplace.

It’s a moment to reflect on the progress workers have made through solidarity and collective action, and to recognize that those gains were never handed out — they were fought for.

We also look at where we are today. Workers continue to face challenges around job security, workload, workplace change, and maintaining a healthy balance between work and life. These conversations matter, and they’re happening because members continue to speak up and stand together.

CUPE 998 remains committed to protecting the rights of our members, advocating for fair treatment, and ensuring your voices are heard at every table.

May Day is about unity. It’s about strength in numbers. And it’s about continuing the work to build better workplaces for everyone.
