Dear CUPE Member:

Your union will soon be entering negotiations for your next collective agreement, which expires soon. CUPE will seek a freely negotiated settlement that addresses the priorities and concerns of its members.

WE NEED YOUR INPUT. Participation in this survey is completely voluntary. Your answers will not be shared with them employer; but will be reviewed by CUPE in preparation for bargaining. The results of this survey will inform our proposals for the upcoming bargaining. Members will be able to amend, complement, and approve CUPE proposals at a special meeting to be held before negotiations with the employer start.

Please complete this survey and return it on or before Friday, January 14, 2022.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As we get ready to enjoy the last long weekend of the summer, it’s important to reflect on why we have Monday off. Labour Day is an opportunity to celebrate the gains and achievements made on behalf of workers over the years.

In Alberta, CUPE members have diligently stood together to improve conditions for working Albertans. Today we have higher wages and better benefits, as well as vastly safer and healthier workplaces. It is every worker’s right to a safe and healthy workplace.

But we can never take these things for granted. Today, our fair and safe working conditions are in jeopardy as Jason Kenney and the UCP threaten to legislate away the rights of workers, roll back wages, privatize public services and fundamentally redefine how governments serve their people.

We need to stand together against these anti-labour policies. When CUPE raises its collective voice to stand up for workers’ rights and a better life for everyone, it resonates in workplaces and communities across Alberta and Canada. We are the country’s largest labour union, and we are committed to our fight for a fairer and more equal world.

Together we can stand up to this government and its privatization agenda.

Thank you to all CUPE activists, leaders, and staff across Alberta, who fight tirelessly to make our jobs and our communities better. You show up and make a difference.

On behalf of CUPE Alberta, we wish you a very safe and happy Labour Day.

In solidarity,

Rory Gill

President, CUPE AB

As mentioned in the June 10, 2021 Members Meeting, The draft bylaws are being posted on the web site for the members to have a look. The plan is to vote on the proposed bylaws at the September 2021 members’ meeting.

I will post links to our current bylaws and to the CUPE National Constitution as there are specific references to the CUPE national Constitution.

If you have any questions and comments, please reach out to me in the Local’s office.

Some notes to be aware of as you read the proposed changes to the Bylaws:

• It is in a side by side format, current bylaws on the left, proposed bylaws on the right. Tried to match old language with new language
• Last updated 2002, should really be reviewed every 1 or 2 years
• Updated CUPE National bylaws and Article referrals that have to be in all local bylaws. All local bylaws are subservient to the CUPE National bylaws
• No Dues increase
• The bylaws have a refreshed look and look more like a Collective Agreement, the bylaws define the members’ rights and responsibilities, it is important that everything is spelled out and not open to interpretation, just like the collective agreement.
• Updated the rep work areas, to more closely match TBC work areas.
• Added a 2^nd VP position. Original thought was to have a Hospitality and Arts & Admin VP’s. This would be burdensome to the local for elections. I Believe that it will natural evolve into that state, while giving the Local the expertise/experience it needs

New Articles:

• Privacy coordinator for PIPA (legislation requirement)
• Child care & dependent care
• complaints and trails
• rules of order
• amendments
• printing of Bylaws
• appendixes

Thank You

Lyle Fish
Vice-President CUPE Local 4318
