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
