Support for CUPE Local 47

Dear CUPE1975 Members,
We are asking our members to stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers of CUPE Local47, who are currently bargaining with the City of Saskatoon for a fair collective agreement.
CUPE 47 members provide critical water and wastewater services that protect public health and environmental safety for Saskatoon and surrounding communities. Recent mediation between the parties was unsuccessful, and the local has launched a public letter-writing campaign asking City Council to bargain fairly and in good faith.
As union members, we know that strong public services depend on respected, properly supported workers. Solidarity matters — especially when employers seek concessions that could impact workers, workplace stability, and the services communities rely on every day.
We encourage all members to take a few moments to support CUPE 47 by participating in their campaign by clicking on the link below to send a letter to Saskatoon City Council :
Please consider sharing this campaign with your coworkers, friends, and family as well.
When CUPE members stand together, our collective voice is stronger.
In solidarity,

CUPE Saskatchewan launches violence survey

CUPE Saskatchewan has launched a provincial survey to hear directly from members about the extent of violence and harassment in workplaces.

Members of CUPE can complete the survey here: https://cupesask.ca/violencesurvey/

CUPE has declared 2026 its Year of Health and Safety. The launch of the survey coincides with the union’s call on the provincial government to declare a workplace health and safety emergency, urging the government to work directly with workers and their unions to address unsafe conditions in workplaces across the province.
