Your Job. Your Community. Your Vote.

Your Job, Your Community, Your Vote is a new campaign from Ontario Municipal Workers (OMW) that puts public services and the people who deliver them front and centre ahead of the 2026 Ontario Municipal Elections.

 CUPE members are the backbone of our communities—keeping them clean, safe, and running every single day. But their jobs, and the services we all rely on, are under threat from understaffing and privatization. This campaign is about changing that. We’re telling real stories, building local pride, and mobilizing voters to stand up for strong, publicly delivered services.

Leading up to the 2026 Ontario municipal elections, the campaign will engage and empower CUPE locals and their members to become active participants in defending public services—at the ballot box, in their workplaces, and in their communities. The campaign will also work to identify and endorse municipal candidates across the province who believe in the value of public services and good, union jobs to elect worker-friendly councils across the province.

When workers thrive, communities thrive. This is your job, your community, and your vote—let’s use it to protect what matters.
