Sectors of work
CUPE is Canada’s largest union, with over 800,000 members. It is also a very diverse union in terms of the sectors it represents. Our members work in eleven different sectors. Some sectors have over 150,000 members each, such as health care, education, and municipal services, while others have fewer members. However, our union relies on the strength of all its members, regardless of their sector or type of job. Learn more about each of these sectors and the specific issues facing each one.
12 Things You Can Do to Fight Violence in the Workplace
Respect means recognizing the dignity of every worker and the right of everyone to be safe from the moment they walk into the workplace to the moment they walk out. Violence is NOT part of the job. CUPE has many tools and resources to help you build a safer, more respectful workplace.
Collective Bargaining
Negotiating strong contracts for our members is what we do best. The solidarity of our members is the heart of our bargaining power, and makes gains possible. Together, we’ve built strong communities and achieved better wages, benefits, pensions and fair treatment, for workers.
