Hello everyone! 👋👋 CUPE’s national convention brings together thousands of members from across the country.

We set the direction of our union; a union that is strong and growing and fighting back — and winning.

We popped in to see Sask. Party MLA Travis Keisig in Balcarres to drop off letters written to him by healthcare workers from his own community about the sorry state of rural healthcare, and the lack of a fair deal for workers.

Wouldn’t you know it… he wasn’t at work!

The countdown has begun. If Scott Moe does not sign a deal with the federal government within six months, $10-a-day childcare is dead in Saskatchewan.

Our sister union in the Philippines is called COURAGE, and CUPE Sask has been a partner for many years. We were honoured to host their president, Santiago. We visited members in Regina, Weyburn, and Saskatoon from healthcare, universities, libraries, education, & municipalities.

High-flying Healthcare Hypocrites.

Scott Moe pays the health authority CEO nearly half a million dollars a year, and has given him another double digit pay hike. And the workers? Nothing. Absolutely nothing — for 3.5 years.

Time for a fair deal.

As students head back to school, so too do our tireless education workers — in fact many have been there all year!

Here’s a few photos of CUPE education workers from this summer’s outreach events. We will continue to fight for better pay, more resources, and safer workplaces.

Last official CUPE Saskatchewan BBQ of the year! Ended the summer circuit with CUPE Local 4748, workers at the Cosmopolitian Learning Centre in Regina. 🍔 🌭

2nd annual Dog Day BBQ was a smashing success! Each year we have a free BBQ at the dog park to recognize the work CUPE members do at the Saskatoon SPCA, and as an excuse to collect photos of cute dogs.

Enough dithering. Time for Scott Moe to grab a pen and get this deal inked — today.

Emergency rooms are closing and wait times are growing, but have you ever wondered why? #saskatchewan #cupe #scottmoe #healthcare

CUPE Saskatchewan and Local 3370 — the care workers of Nipawin Handiworks — put on another successful community BBQ in Nipawin today. Thanks to all the volunteers and people who came by!

CUPE Saskatchewan proudly participates in Back to Batoche, and has for many years. This year we sponsored the movie night, made hundreds of bags of popcorn, gave away lots of resources, and handed out swag.

Nice day for a BBQ, co-hosted with CUPE Local 1975 at the University of Saskatchewan. Thank-you to all the volunteers, and it was the CUPE SaskatcheVAN’s first official BBQ. 🚐

We joined the parade to celebrate the Town of Nipawin’s 100th birthday on the weekend. CUPE has hundreds of members that live in and around Nipawin — and many came out to volunteer!

Our prize wheel raised over $370 for the Nipawin Early Learning Centre.

There is one person who could decide, today, to give healthcare workers a real raise. That person’s name is Scott Moe.

While bargaining was taking place inside, we were outside calling on Scott Moe and his bargaining agent to get a fair deal done now. Healthcare workers have gone over 3 years without a raise during a cost of living crisis. The result has been a staffing and retention emergency.

As Saskatchewan’s community union, we dedicate many months of the year to outreach. BBQs, parades, Pride celebrations, pow wows, festivals. We think it’s important to connect with the people who use the services that CUPE members deliver every day. That outreach just got a whole lot more stylish!

You’re telling me all these little stinkers are just lined up waiting and I get to pet them and give them treats? Sounds like a scam but ok I’m in. Happy Pride Saskatoon!

Our community BBQ at Saskatoon City Hall is about to begin! CUPE’s municipal and library workers in Saskatoon are co-hosting. They even splurged and got cheese for the burgers. With close to 2,000 people expected — that’s a lot of cheese!

Pride is political, and may it always be. Scott Moe is banned from Pride, and may he always be.

Big thank you to all the members of CUPE Local 4195 — Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division — who volunteered at our joint community BBQ this evening in Prince Albert. And I have to give a shout out to Matt and JR who are doing their best impressions of a supervisor!

Prince Albert Pride was another success, a little rain but no complaints about that! Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, and many CUPE members for all the hard work.

Unfortunately, I have many examples to share about what CUPE members living under regressive, anti-worker govts fight against every day — suppressed wages, privatization, cuts, trampled workers rights, and more.

But we’re fighting back, together. Thanks @cupebc.bsky.social for having me. ✊

Now l've been kicked out of meetings before — but within two minutes of it starting has to be a new record.
