School support workers deserve to be safe at work.
Image and article taken from CUPE Manitoba's petition.
School support workers are a core part of Manitoba's schools.
They are the educational assistants, library staff, custodians, bus drivers, office and administation staff, lunch supervisors and cafeteria staff, IT, trades and maintenance workers who keep students learning and schools running.
They help students manage learning needs, behavior challenges, mobility issues, and emotional regulation.
However, school support workers are repeatedly left vulnerable to violence and unsafe working conditions.

Bargaining Update !

WHAT A TURNOUT, LOCAL 1522!!
Members, families, friends, and community supporters came together outside the Lord Selkirk School Division to make our voices heard!
We stood together for fairness, fair contracts, and respect for education support workers.
Our message to the Division was clear: Get back to the bargaining table, finalize a fair Clerical agreement, and implement the ratified Custodial agreement.
Thank you to CUPE Manitoba, the SDLC, fellow CUPE Locals, CUPE staff, our community, and everyone who came out and stood with us.
Our solidarity was strong and our voices were heard!
