Dear Sisters, Brothers and Friends:
April 28, 2021
National Day of Mourning for Workers Killed or Injured at the Workplace
Every year, CUPE members across the country organize events to mark the National Day of
Mourning in recognition of CUPE members, and all workers, who were injured, made sick or
killed at work. This past year has been especially challenging for many of our members as they
worked to provide frontline services through the COVID-19 pandemic.
As these times become more challenging and the access of in person meetings/information increasingly becomes more impossible. It is important for all members of CUPE 5441 to have access to the executive and information when needed. With the numerous avenues currently in place to reach our executive, there will be a new initiative being introduced, President’s Corner
President’s Corner is your opportunity to meet, discuss, ask questions, and give feedback to the President of CUPE 5441.
The first meeting is scheduled:
Date: Tuesday April 20th 2021
Time: 7a.m. – 7p.m.
