Getting Out The Vote For Local Exec Elections - 97 Negotiation Demands Passed - Building Power To Win Update - Unionizing Amazon Workers

Throughout March, our local held numerous workshops educating members on the process of crafting and debating demands for upcoming negotiations with CPC.  This culminated in over 80 members, splitting seven hours between two GMMs to pass 97 negotiation demands aimed at making our jobs and lives better. A full package of all the resolutions we explored and passed can be found in this post.

My Union, My Life provides an ideal text for us to delve into the most active and organized periods of CUPW history, where we were able to make tremendous gains for ourselves and other workers. The lessons in Brother Parrot’s book will be invaluable as we prepare for the struggle to protect and improve our own jobs, as well as revitalize the Canadian labour movement. All CUPW activists welcome!

Special GMM - Local Exec Election Rules - In Memoriam: Bill MacDonald - March 2021 Newsletter - President's Report - Sundries

Excerpt: If this is my last report to you as your President, thank-you for your courage, and the opportunity to try and reform our union into a credible, fighting force again...  Donating just one hour to vote for who you want leading and organizing our local during negotiations, and a potential strike, will be very well worth your time.

Our local, and retired members, would like to pay tribute to a past president and lifelong union activist of LCUC 15 and CUPW 730, Bill MacDonald.
