What’s Our Duty?

stewards get their authority in the workplace?
What is the duty of fair representation?
What other legislation covers the
workplace?
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.
There is no fee for CUPE Local 905 members. For all other locals, the cost is $20. Please make cheques payable to CUPE Local 905 and forward to:
