A message from CUPE National:

“All CUPE members work under the protection of a contract called a collective agreement. Your local union bargains the terms of the agreement. Elected local union leaders also work with the employer to resolve problems in the workplace.

If you have questions about your rights at work, the best person to talk to is your steward or local executive. They will know the specific details of your agreement.”

To see your collective agreement, or to review previous agreements, visit the Collective Agreement section of this website.
