For more than 50 years, CUPE Ontario members have been standing up for fairness for working people and communities across the province.
With the upcoming Municipal elections it’s more important than ever to show how our union works together to Build a Better Ontario.
Labour Day Photo Contest
Across the province, as we head into municipal elections, CUPE Ontario members will participate in all sorts of Labour Day events this year. We want to showcase the great solidarity members show in every community.
Share your Labour Day photos on Facebook and Twitter! Tag them with @cupeontario and don’t forget to mention your CUPE local number in your post. Remember to ‘Follow’ us on Twitter and ‘Like’ us on Facebook first!
The best photo will win a spot on the front page of the Political Pulse newsletter and on CUPE Ontario’s home page – with a credit to you and your local.
Don’t have a Twitter or Facebook account? Send us an email with your high quality photos to [email protected]
You don’t need a great camera to take a great photo – just great people doing great things. But whether you’re using a fancy DSLR, a point-and-shoot or your phone, please start by setting the photo quality to “high” or “large.”
