CUPE Activist Days hold significant value for CUPE Councils across Ontario, as we tour the province to reactivate and support these vital grassroots organizations. These gatherings are crucial in empowering local councils and ensuring they remain the voice of labour within their communities.
As champions of labour campaigns, providing bargaining support, and promoting strong public services, CUPE Councils play a pivotal role in advocating for workers’ rights and addressing local issues, making their engagement essential.
Activist Days provide a platform for CUPE members to deepen their understanding of union fundamentals through CUPE 101 sessions, learn effective campaign-building strategies, and critically analyze the provincial budget in relation to their local regions’ funding. Such knowledge not only equips council members with the necessary tools to advocate for their communities but also fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose among participants.
Activist days also provide ample opportunities for group discussions, encourage collaborative problem-solving, sharing of best practices, and strengthening the network of CUPE Councils across the province.
By registering, you are helping to revitalize and support these councils. Â Together we are ensuring a robust, engaged, and informed labour movement that can effectively respond to the needs of its members and the communities they serve.
