Appalled by an opinion column in the National Post endorsing violence against NDP leader Avi Lewis. The Post should retract this article, and apologize to Mr. Lewis. There is no place in a free and democratic society for the incitement of violence against political leaders.

Today, members from all across Canada are gathering in Ottawa for our All Committees Meeting to help our union decide how to respond when working people are squeezed and public services are under attack.

CUPE’s position is clear: if you are currently unionized,you ought to remain so – and this means that your vote matters! You should be able to vote and have your vote counted.

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.

Aujourd'hui, des milliers de Québécoises et Québécois ont marché ensemble pour dire à la CAQ et à la droite que nous refusons le recul de nos droits, de nos acquis et de nos services publics. Fier d’avoir marché avec vous ✊. On reste unis et on continue le travail, ensemble.

What a day in Vancouver, meeting so many folks face to face, standing shoulder to shoulder, and taking the mic to say what millions are feeling: Carney and the billionaires, enough is enough. We’re drawing the line for people, for peace, for the planet. #DrawtheLine

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the Vancouver Public Library to say loud and clear: it’s time to stop the profiteering and invest in the public services people count on. For people, for peace, for the planet — let’s draw the line ✊

Great turnout in Edmonton yesterday at the CUPE Alberta BBQ! Always inspiring to connect with members, share stories, and build solidarity together. Thanks to CUPE Alberta for hosting such a warm welcome.

The era of airlines making billions off the unpaid labour of flight attendants is in its final days. Flight attendants are standing strong from coast to coast today to tell Air Canada loud and clear: unpaid work won't fly.

Charlottetown Water and Sewer workers are on strike for the first time in 60 years, fighting to protect their jobs and demand wages that reflect the essential work they do every day. They’re not backing down, and neither are we. CUPE stands shoulder to shoulder with them.

Good to be in Huntsville today to join labour leaders at the Council of the Federation. Met with Premiers David Eby and Wab Kinew to talk about defending workers against Trump's threats, and joined workers and advocates from across Canada for a rally to defend public health care.

It was an honour to stand with CUPE 2073 on the line today. These workers support Deaf and hard of hearing people across Ontario and deserve respect. CUPE’s 750000 members stand with you. You are not alone. Together we will win. #solidarity

We need to make it easier for Canadians to trade with each other. But we won’t win the trade war with Donald Trump by tossing out protections for our water, our health, and our public services. That’s selling out the things we value most about living in Canada. cupe.ca/can-removing...

Proud to see CUPE 1936 members take part in the Shine a Light campaign to support early learning and child care workers. They do vital, skilled work that helps families and strengthens our communities. It’s time for real investment in the people who care for our kids.

When it comes to health care, @jagmeetsingh.ca gets it. CUPE members, especially our members in health care, know we need a leader who will strengthen public health care - not cut it like Mark Carney, or bring in US-style for-profit health care like Pierre Poilievre.

Canadian workers are under attack. A 25% tariff on our auto industry—plus more threats to steel and aluminum—puts thousands of jobs at risk. CUPE stands with all workers affected by these reckless policies—our government must fight back.

Poilievre says he won’t raise the retirement age, but his party has already lied about raising the retirement age once before. They committed in their 2011 platform that they wouldn't cut pensions, then they went ahead and did it anyway. And they did it from Davos, Switzerland of all places.

Amazing to be at the CUPE Alberta convention as we mark a huge win for education workers across this province. Premier Smith might have missed the memo about what happens when you pick a fight with CUPE. We never back down from a fight. When we fight, we win!

Today I wrote to our new prime minister Mark Carney to remind him that privatization is a race to the bottom. Selling our public infrastructure like airports and opening public services up for private-sector profit is exactly what Trump wants us to do. cupe.ca/cupe-calls-c...

CUPE members and the labour movement have always risen to the occasion during challenging times. This is our moment. Let no one underestimate our determination to defend what must be defended. cupe.ca/montreal-dec...

Jagmeet's leadership and dedication to working people are clear—whether it's expanding universal health care with dental care and pharmacare, or winning federal anti-scab legislation. Jagmeet's commitment to building a better future for working people is exactly the kind of leadership we need.

Canada’s response cannot simply be “Buy Canadian.” The CEO of Loblaws is still going to be happy to price gouge you on maple syrup while wearing a maple leaf hat.

Trump's aggression against Canada has reminded us just how overdependent we are on the US. Canada’s response has to be about protecting the Canadian model. About strengthening public services. About protecting our communities. And building an economy that works for workers - first and foremost.

It was an honour to speak to CUPE's first ever Young Workers Conference this morning in Montreal. People say “young workers are the future of our union”, but young workers are the present of our union too. Today and every day, they make CUPE the progressive, militant, activist union that we are.

Canada’s economy and public services are under growing pressure, and workers are the ones feeling the squeeze. CUPE is calling for real action to protect jobs, strengthen infrastructure, and invest in public services—not more corporate handouts or privatization schemes. cupe.ca/sites/defaul...

CUPE has signed the #PledgeForCanada because workers know the power of solidarity. Canada’s future must be shaped by us—not dictated by foreign pressures. Now is the time to stand together to protect our democracy, economy, and sovereignty. Sign here : engagement-canada-pledge.ca

Nearly 5,000 education workers all across Alberta have been forced onto picket lines to fight for a fair wage increase that helps them stay above water. It's time for Danielle Smith and the UCP to start properly funding public education to give kids the quality learning environment they deserve.
