The CUPE Ontario Indigenous Council is firmly committed to promoting and defending the rights of all Aboriginal workers in our union and in our communities. The committee’s goal is to educate our membership about Aboriginal issues, increase participation of Aboriginal members, and combat discrimination. They do this through actively participating in their communities, provincial coalitions, lobby days and political campaigns.
At the Human Rights Conference, CUPE Ontario elects members to the following committees: Aboriginal, International Solidarity, Pink Triangle, Racial Justice, Workers with Disabilities and Young Workers. [more]
Welcome and acknowledgement of traditional territory is recognizing Indigenous people as traditional stewards of the land and is an important part of showing respect for First Nations.
