What We Do
C.U.P.E. Local 1310 members, clean and maintain one of Ontario's largest public
education systems, the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) Serving
more than 56,000 students in 92 elementary schools, 16 secondary schools and 6
adult learning centres
Local unions
When a group of workers choose CUPE to represent them, they form their own
CUPE local or join an existing one. With more than 2,200 local unions, CUPE is a
union that thrives on diversity. Some locals have members all in one workplace,
while others span a region or province. Each local controls their own union
business, guided by CUPE’s constitution.
Working with their CUPE staff rep, members determine their bargaining and
workplace priorities. They elect an executive to lead their local union. They set their
dues and decide how money is spent. Whatever the issue, members always have a
say.
Members decide whether to accept the employer’s offer, or reject it and vote to
strike. Most often CUPE’s clout helps members get good contracts without strikes.
But whenever a member or local is under attack, CUPE is there. Our massive
resources and multi-million dollar strike and defence funds help members fight and
win. Our successes send a clear message to employers and government that
CUPE members will settle for nothing less than what they’re worth.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE)
is Canada’s largest union.
With more than half a million members across Canada, CUPE represents workers
in health care, education, municipalities, libraries, universities, social services,
public utilities, transportation, emergency services and airlines.
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.
Together they have won the right to negotiate their wages and working conditions; to
stop arbitrary action by employers; and to speak out without fear of reprisal.
CUPE members are service-providers, white-collar workers, technicians, labourers,
skilled trades people and professionals. More than half of CUPE members are
women. About one-third are part-time workers.
CUPE is a modern, dynamic and sophisticated union with more than 70 offices
across the country.
Workers, united through CUPE, have the clout and expertise to deal with the growing
complexities of our global economy.
