International solidarity

CUPE is deeply committed to international solidarity and the pursuit of global justice. Strengthening the global labour movement and building relationships with workers and community allies around the world is essential to our collective fight for human and labour rights, decent work, strong public services, justice and peace.

International Solidarity Report 2024-2025

This year’s International Solidarity Report comes in a time of increasing global turmoil and political instability that’s being met with inspiring solidarity.

Inequality is growing, human rights are under increasing attack, and authoritarianism, corruption and corporate greed are on the rise. It can feel overwhelming, frightening and discouraging. But we can draw strength and inspiration from the powerful waves of resistance across the globe. Workers and community members are standing in solidarity for their rights and building a future where we can all live in justice and peace.

CUPE's commitment to international solidarity

International solidarity is a call to action and an essential component of any fightback strategy we develop in our union. Inequality and injustice threaten to divide us. We must unite in the face of a rising tide of fear, racism and hate in Canada and around the world.

CUPE’s international solidarity work is rooted in the reality that at home, in our workplace, and in our communities, our lives are affected by a global economic system that puts profit before people. Our struggle for economic and social justice knows no borders.
