CUPE Double Standards

[scribblet]

Sheez, things must be really tough, maybe CUPE is now understanding some of the problems many employers face when it comes to demands for money. We all want more, but how much can a company really afford.

CUPE calls for major concessions

CUPE employees are facing calls for major concessions including a serious attack on their pension plan from their union employer, CUPE and their CEO concession like president paul moist.

To say the least, the job of a National Rep is a juggling act that requires advanced skills and considerable commitment.

To protect themselves as workers against their employer - CUPE, the National Reps are organized with their own union: the CanadianCanadian Staff Union (CSU).

At any given time, a National Rep might be involved in multiple grievances against different employers, arbitration cases, collective bargaining, political action campaigns, and internal union struggles, to name but a few of his/her responsibilities.

To assist them, the National Reps have support staff, organized under the newly formed Canadian Office & Professional Employees Union (COPE).

Despite CUPE National Reps’ responsibility for the organizational well-being of the CUPE locals that they administer, their primary responsibility is to protect the interests of CUPE National and uphold the principles as defined in the CUPE National constitution.

Yet CUPE National is demanding concessions from their very most valued employees just like vicious employers demand from members like you and I.
