Following a year-long formal review, a large majority of delegates voted in favour of “historic change,” as CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn put it, by changing the CUPE Ontario Executive Board to meet the needs of our diverse membership.
The new structure moves from three diversity vice-presidents to six equality representatives and a representative from the Northern Ontario caucus. The equality representatives will be elected in their respective caucuses and will serve as chairs of the equality committees.
The new structure maintains the positions of president, secretary-treasurer, four vice-presidents, six members at large and sector chairs. The majority of positions remain elected by Convention as a whole.
