On Monday, September 3, CUPE Ontario members will take part in Labour Day events across Ontario.

The annual celebration has its roots in the labour movement’s fight for an eight-hour work day and celebrates the gains unions have struggled to achieve on behalf of all workers, such as better wages, health and safety regulations, pensions, parental leave, same-sex spousal benefits and pay equity, gains which have improved the quality of life for all of us.

This year we will be putting our focus on mobilizing for justice and fighting back against the regressive policies of the Doug Ford government.

Please come out with your family and join fellow unionists at the Labour Day event in your area.
