CUPE Manitoba at Pride: June 6-7 and 13-14

Posted on by

Sisters, Brothers, Friends,

We are looking forward to seeing many of you at local community Prides over the next few weeks.

CUPE Manitoba is a part of the Pride Alliance in MB and we have supported a number of local prides where you, the Local members work and live! We will have CUPE fans, buttons and stickers at each pride, and limited edition CUPE Solidarity in Pride rainbow glasses at the CUPE tent at Winnipeg Pride.

Be sure to stop by to spin the prize wheel to win!

This year we are providing representation at, and/or community sponsorships to:

  • Winnipeg Pride – As the only Gold Sponsor of Manitoba’s Unions. We sponsor at the Gold level because it brings over 20,000 Manitobans together and is a great opportunity to share our solidarity in pride for the rights of 2slgbtqi+ workers and community members. The Gold Sponsorships also contributes to the grants that are created for the MB Pride Alliance – who provides funding for over 30 small local prides throughout MB. *CUPE tent onsite in the Pride Community Village
  • Trans Pride
  • Gimli Pride
  • Selkirk Pride
  • Pembina Valley Pride
  • Brandon Pride
  • Winnipegosis Pride
  • Dauphin Pride
  • Tri-Community Pride: The Pas/OCN/RM of Kelsey Pride
  • Flin Flon Pride

We are proud to bring our Solidarity in Pride to the heart of communities over the next few weeks. As other events get posted and we organize around them, we will continue to share opportunities each week where you can join CUPE Manitoba. All CUPE members, Locals, Executive, Staff and their friends and families are invited to walk with us. Please share and let’s come together to share our Solidarity in Pride!

In Solidarity,
Gina McKay

Apply to join CUPE regional trial panels

Posted on by
TO ALL CUPE CHARTERED ORGANIZATIONS

Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends:

We are seeking applications from our membership to serve on CUPE’s regional trial panels.

At the 2019 National Convention, delegates updated the trial procedure to deal with complaints and offences under the National Constitution. With this procedure, trials are now conducted outside the Local Union by three members from the region. These trial committees are appointed by the National President from a regional list of trial panelists nominated by the National Executive Board.

The procedure and more information can be found here: Apply to CUPE’s regional trial panels | Canadian Union of Public Employees.

If you are interested in being nominated to the list of trial panelists for your region, please apply before May 8, 2026.

We are looking for members who:

  • Are available on short notice to hear and decide cases.
  • Have the capacity to listen and understand different perspectives.
  • Have an understanding of human rights.
  • Are comfortable explaining a decision in writing.

Panelists will be nominated for the regional list for a term of two years and training will be provided.

Any CUPE member in good standing is eligible to apply, and we encourage you to seek the support of your Local Union for your application.

As part of CUPE’s commitment to equity, we encourage applications from members of equity-deserving groups, including women, Indigenous people, Black and racialized people, persons with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQI+ people.

Reasonable accommodations are available on request for members taking part in all aspects of the selection process. If needed, please contact trials-proces@cupe.ca to request an accommodation.

We ask all interested members to complete the application online.

In solidarity,


MARK HANCOCK
National President
