    Pagans and witches celebrate the Winter Solstice or Yule as a way to honour the natural cycles of our planetary home. It is a time to be grateful for the good things we have, to recommit to the work that is needed ahead, to meditate on our humanity and compassion, to give. All over the world, different cultures celebrate Solstice. This year, it takes place on Thursday, December 21st.

    Families across Canada are crying out for access to early learning and child care. The federal government’s historic child care initiative has brought down parent fees for licensed child care for children under 6. However, there are only enough licensed spaces for a fraction of those who need it. Vulnerable families and children are much more likely to fall through the large gap between supply and demand.

    Support Postal Banking - Download and Sign the Petition

    Canada needs a postal bank. Thousands of rural towns and villages in our country do not have a bank, but many of them have a post office that could provide financial services. As well, nearly two million Canadians desperately need an alternative to payday lenders. A postal bank could be that alternative. Download and sign the petition urging the Government of Canada to instruct Canada Post to add postal banking, with a mandate for financial inclusion.

    Friday October 20 2023
    CUPW is pleased to welcome Ebus drivers in Kamloops and Vancouver to our Union! Many of these new members are former Greyhound bus drivers who found work with Ebus after Greyhound left Western Canada in 2018. These workers are being paid the same rate as they were in 2016, when they were represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union. The skyrocketing cost of living in BC has made it difficult for workers to make ends meet.

    CUPW launched its postal banking campaign with a giant inflatable piggy bank in downtown Ottawa.
