The Workers’ Day of Mourning was created by CUPE members more than 40 years ago to remember those who lost their lives on the job and to inspire workers to fight to prevent further tragedies.

On March 8, CUPE joins the world in celebrating International Women’s Day. Today and every day, CUPE celebrates women’s union activism.

Every year CUPE honours a Black ancestor, or someone who is making history today. This year we’re honouring Carol Wall.
