CUPE leaders and members joined with thousands of others marching in the streets of Toronto in July 2015, dubbed the March for Jobs, Justice and the Climate, to demand action on climate change. Charles Fleury, national secretary-treasurer of CUPE , and Fred Hahn, president of CUPE Ontario joined David Suzuki, Naomi Klein and other prominent activists calling for a new economy that works for people and the planet. Climate change will be among CUPE’s priority issues in the coming years, as the public sector can and will play a central role transforming our society to ensure a sustainable future.
