Bargaining in Solidarity, Power, Strategy and Activism   NEW

The landscape for unions and workers is changing rapidly.  Governments and employers are putting more and more constraints on free collective bargaining.  Public services are being slashed, and inequality is growing in our communities.  At stake:  the very existence of unions, and the gains we’ve made for all workers.

It’s time to come together, take a stand, and mobilize members like never before.  Participants in this workshop will be thrown into the unpredictability of bargaining, challenged to be strategic and forward thinking, and given real opportunities to demonstrate solidarity and activism.  Are you ready?

You may only pre-register online.  Your registration is not complete until the registration form and payment is received by the registrar.  Please see the attached brochure.

Scents and Fragrances:

In response to the health concerns of our members and staff, CUPE has implemented a Scent-Free Policy at all of our workshops.  Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches.  Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Registration fee is dependent on what type of accommodation you require.
