LET - Essentials for Inclusive Unions

Aug 13, 2024 | CUPE Charlottetown Area Office, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island | English
As activists in our unions, we often ask why members are not more involved. This workshop asks a different question: Who is involved and who isn't and what might be some reasons why? How might our unconscious biases contribute to this? How can we represent members in a way that invites those on the margins to get involved and to see the union as place where they want to make a difference?

LET - Financial Essentials

In this workshop, you will learn about your duties regarding the finances of the union, budgeting and how to be transparent and accountable to members.
