CUPE 3906

Our new Unit 1 Chief Steward, Kevin Barnhorst, swearing in members of the stewards council!

The Hamilton and District Labour Council is looking for Labour enthusiasts and activists to volunteer a couple of hours, once a month, to help foster relations between Labour and the Hamilton community, coalition groups, and the public at large.

You don’t have to be a delegate to Labour Council to help. We’re looking for people, with enthusiasm, to help at events, festivals, fairs, and other community gatherings. If you enjoy meeting and talking with people, and are not the type for meetings or committees, perhaps this is a way for you to be a Labour activist in Hamilton.

Become part of the Outreach Team!
Wednesday, February 25th at 7pm

We would like to extend an invitation to CUPE Ontario’s Where’s the Funding (WTF) campaign launch which is happening on Monday February 9th at McMaster. We are looking to engage a broad group of labour, student, and social justice activists on campus about the lack of funding facing the university.

Specifically there will be a rally and some speakers in the atrium of MUSC at 10:00am, and presentation and discussion of the University’s Budget happening at 3:00pm in MUSC 220.
