As a strong and democratic union, CUPE is committed to improving the quality of life for workers in Canada. Women and men working together to form local unions built CUPE. They did so to have a stronger voice – a collective voice – in their workplace and in society as a whole.
Health care and municipal workers constitute CUPE’s two largest sectors. CUPE is also the dominant support staff union in the education sector representing junior kindergarten to grade 12.
