What does it mean to be a member in good standing?

Any employee who works in a CUPE 5441 bargaining unit across Unity Health Toronto can become a member in good standing;

  • Simply fill out the Member in Good Standing Application Form
  • If you would like a clean printable version of the form, click here.
  • Email completed forms to this address support@cupe5441.ca or bring a completed form to Swag Day
  • The membership will vote to accept the form at the next General Membership Meeting
  • Finally take the Oath of Membership

For ease of reference the process is laid out in this Chart. Only a member in good standing can fully participate in the activities of CUPE 5441 and National Union. This means only a member in good standing can attend and vote at General Membership Meetings, run for any elected Union positions, vote in those elections, and participate as a delegate of CUPE 5441.

For a more detailed explanation, check out this CUPE National webpage.  Any employee who is not a member in good standing remains a Rand Formula payee.
