April was one of those quiet-but-critical months, where a lot was happening behind the scenes to keep things moving forward.
We kicked things off by sharing the CUPE Saskatchewan Violence Survey with members, helping ensure your voices and experiences are part of shaping safer workplaces across the province.
On April 1st, your bargaining team met with the employer for mediation. While these meetings don’t always come with immediate updates, they are a key part of pushing conversations forward and advocating for meaningful progress.
Mid-month, our entire stewarding team attended the Occupational Health & Safety Conference in Saskatoon (April 12–14), bringing back valuable insights and tools to strengthen health and safety practices in our workplaces.
The work continued with a Bargaining Committee Meeting on April 16, followed by the SPEL (Saskatoon & Prairie-Spirit Education Locals) Committee bargaining meeting on April 20, keeping momentum steady at multiple tables.
Behind the scenes, there’s also exciting progress to share: our new website is nearly ready to launch, and the Spring Newsletter is officially out. If you haven’t checked it out yet, now’s the time.
We’re also still accepting applications for sponsorship to attend the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour Summer Kids Camp, a great opportunity for families to get involved and stay connected. Click here to learn more about the SFL Summer Kids Camp.
