When you join CUPE you have:

There are many advantages to being a member of CUPE, a strong, democratic union. One of the biggest is never having to face your employer alone.

A union is YOU and your CO-WORKERS coming together to improve your working conditions. As a union you have a legally recognized voice that your employer cannot ignore. Together with your co-workers you will decide what’s important and what about your job needs to change for the better.

In CUPE, members decide everything, including dues. The average dues rate that child care members choose is 1.5% and that is fully tax deductible. That is your pooled resources as workers to build strong campaigns to win the improvements you want.
