Dear Sisters and Brothers,
We would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the recent communication issues that have prevented us from receiving important messages about life events, both joyous and sorrowful, within our union family. As a community, we believe in supporting each other through both the celebrations of milestones such as births and marriages, as well as offering our deepest condolences during times of loss.
To ensure we can properly acknowledge and support these important moments, we kindly ask that you reach out to us directly at
jacquie1522cupe@yahoo.com
to inform us of any significant life events. This will allow us to come together as a membership to offer the care and solidarity our sisters and brothers deserve.
Thank you for your understanding, and for continuing to be part of a union that cares deeply for one another.

Bill 37 has received Royal Assent, meaning 50% + 1 card check and a ban on scab labour are now the law in Manitoba. Our labour movement never lost hope of winning these protections for workers, and now the dreams of generations of union activists have come true.
Now that this law is in place, it is easier than ever before for workers to join a union. If a majority of employees in a workplace sign a union application card, they’ll get a union.
Manitoba’s anti-scab law includes the broadest definition of scab labour in Canada.
