YOUR CO-WORKERS ARE ORGANIZING A UNION.
When you join CUPE you have:
- The power to win annual wage increases, benefits, and job security
- Fair and transparent job posting and hiring processes
- Democracy: where the members make the decisions and determine the direction that is best
- A voice when negotiating your collective agreement
- A process to address problems at work, and the power of a union to win solutions
- A supportive team behind you at every step
CUPE represents thousands of education support workers in Alberta.
At the Calgary Board of Education all non-union workers can sign their support to switch to CUPE. This includes Educational Assistants, secretaries, administrative staff, learning commons/library staff, cafeteria workers, lunchroom supervisors and professional support staff (i.e., therapists).
Your colleagues at the Calgary Board of Education who work in Facility & Environmental Services are already CUPE members and belong to Local 40.
A union is YOU and your CO-WORKERS coming together to improve your working conditions. Together with your co-workers you will have the ability to decide what aspects of your job need to change for the better.
