Our bylaws set out the rules for how our local democratically elects our representatives, and how it is run.

Union solidarity is based on the principle that union members are equal and deserve mutual respect at all levels. Any behaviour that creates conflict prevents us from working together to strengthen our union.

As unionists, mutual respect, cooperation and understanding are our goals. We should neither condone nor tolerate behaviour that undermines the dignity or self-esteem of any individual or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.

Discriminatory speech or conduct which is racist, sexist, transphobic or homophobic hurts and thereby divides us. So too, does discrimination on the basis of ability, age, class, religion, language and ethnic origin.

Sometimes discrimination takes the form of harassment. Harassment means using real or perceived power to abuse, devalue or humiliate. Harassment should not be treated as a joke. The uneasiness and resentment that it creates are not feelings that help us grow as a union.

Discrimination and harassment focus on characteristics that make us different; and they reduce our capacity to work together on shared concerns such as decent wages, safe working conditions, and justice in the workplace, society and in our union.

CUPE’s policies and practices must reflect our commitment to equality. Members, staff and elected officers must be mindful that all persons deserve dignity, equality and respect.

Changes to the Health & Dental Coverage

TO ALL MEMBERS OF CUPE LOCAL 59:

REMINDER: Effective January 1, 2024, the following changes to the Blue Cross benefits will be in place:

• Lowering Extended Health Benefits para-medicals percentage coverage from 100% to 80%.
• Adding a $5 per prescription deductible.
• Lowering dental coverage from 85% to 80% for basic and 65% to 50% for major.

These changes are being implemented to address the plan deficit and will assist in reduced overspending.

In Solidarity,
The Blue Cross Committee
