We are joining our CUPE 5100 colleagues on June 6th in Haldimand and Norfolk at community garage sales! Contact the office if you are interested in joining a team!
June 6 is almost here!
Join us as we Paint the Province Purple and stand up for publicly funded education.
The Provincial Government just released its latest education budget — and it includes only a 1% increase, which is below inflation. That means more cuts, more understaffing, and more pressure on the students and workers who keep our schools running.
On June 6, get out with your local, wear purple, and fight for the funding our schools deserve.
