CUPE Local 929 – November 2026 Membership Update
November 13, 2026
Dear Brothers, Sisters, and Fellow Members,
As we move toward the end of 2026, the Executive Board of CUPE Local 929 would like to provide members with an update on some of the important issues we have been addressing.
Collective Bargaining and Interest Arbitration
Our Local continues to follow developments concerning collective bargaining and the interest arbitration process.
We recognize the importance of achieving a fair collective agreement that reflects the dedication, responsibilities, and contributions of our members.
We remain committed to advocating for fair wages, improved working conditions, and the protection of our collective agreement rights. Members will be informed as further confirmed information becomes available.
Workplace Concerns and Grievances
Over the past several months, our Local has been actively addressing workplace concerns involving discipline, scheduling, workload, and the interpretation of collective agreement provisions.
We would like to remind members that the grievance procedure exists to protect their rights and ensure that workplace disputes are addressed through a fair and established process.
If you believe your collective agreement rights have been violated, please contact a Union Steward or Executive member as soon as possible. Grievances are subject to specific filing timelines, and delays may affect our ability to pursue a matter.
Workload and Staffing Concerns
Workload continues to be an important issue for our Local, particularly where staffing levels, patient care responsibilities, and additional duties place pressure on employees.
We encourage members to document workload concerns and complete the appropriate workload complaint forms when necessary.
Detailed documentation helps the Union identify recurring problems and advocate for meaningful improvements.
Union Representation
Members are encouraged to contact their Union representatives whenever they are called into a meeting that may involve disciplinary action or an investigation.
Our Local continues to advocate for transparency, procedural fairness, and meaningful opportunities for Union representation in workplace investigations.
No member should feel that they must face workplace concerns without seeking guidance or support from their Union.
Upcoming Union Education – November 27, 2026
Our Local will be participating in Union education on November 27, 2026.
Education is essential to developing knowledgeable and effective Union representatives who can better assist members with workplace concerns, grievances, and collective agreement issues.
We thank everyone participating and encourage continued involvement in Union activities.
Moving Forward Together
The strength of CUPE Local 929 comes from its members. Your participation, concerns, and willingness to stand together are essential to building a fairer and more respectful workplace.
Our Executive Board remains committed to representing members fairly, listening to their concerns, and holding the employer accountable to its obligations.
We encourage everyone to stay informed, communicate with their Union representatives, and participate in upcoming membership meetings.
An informed and united membership is a stronger membership.
In solidarity,
CUPE Local 929 Executive Board
Our People Are Our Strength.
