Dear members,

CUPE will be holding a second rally in solidarity with CUPE education workers tomorrow (Monday, 7th November) at the same location as Friday (in front of the office of Guelph’s Member of Provincial Parliament, Mike Schreiner, 173 Woolwich Street) from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. On Friday, there was excellent representation from different CUPE locals and other Unions, such as the Steelworkers Union and the Nurses Union, and lots of support from passerby.

Please consider joining the rally! The use of the notwithstanding clause and the introduction of Bill 28 are an unprecedented assault on workers' rights that may affect your present and future working life in this province and will have a devastating economic and social effect. An attack on one Union is an attack on all Unions and all workers.

If you live outside of Guelph, CUPE National has released a website that allows members to find the nearest rally to where you live: https://cupe.on.ca/dontbeabully/.

Cheers,
Chris Hempel, Vice-President Internal
