Great to meet with our National Executive Board this week and set a solid path for CUPE as we head into 2026. Grateful to my colleagues for their trust and support, together we’re building a stronger, more connected movement for workers. The work continues, and we’re ready for what’s next.

« I have coworkers who are homeless, who live in their cars or sleep on friends’ couches, because they aren’t being paid enough to afford rent,” CUPE 1259 President Dawn Vardy said. These are long term care workers, severely underpaid. An essential public service. #nspoli @cupens.bsky.social

Tim Houston and his Progressive Conservative @nsgov.bsky.social are offering poverty wages to long term care workers, the lowest in Atlantic Canada. Shame!

A pink CUPE graphic that says: "SMU says this" followed by a screenshot of the staff and faculty wellness challenge And then "reflects their" followed by a screenshot of the text: "ongoing commitment to a healthy, supportive, and connected workplace" How does prolonging a strike fit with these words
SMU's upcoming Wellness Week doesn't do what a good collective agreement will—address real material issues, like low pay and stress from late contracts. We need a fair contract for a healthy workplace, not #UnfairWork!
A graphic of a paper taped on a dark background that says "Tell SMU we need a living wage to LIVE HERE!!"
The wage increase that SMU Part-Time Faculty are striking for is in line with what comparable universities pay their part-timers...and, more importantly, help these workers meet the ever-increasing cost of living!
