On the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we honour the memory of the women who lost their lives in the École Polytechnique tragedy, as well as all those affected by gender-based violence.

[CUPE Local 374 @CUPE374]

Today we remember those who never came home, and those who came home forever changed.
We honour their courage, their sacrifice, and the generations who carried that loss.
May we live and work in ways that are worthy of their memory.
Lest We Forget.

AI is changing the way we work, but workers still have the power to shape what comes next. That’s why CUPE has launched a new hub: https://t.co/5NR0B7Ly3N - a one-stop shop for tools, research, and bargaining support to help locals tackle AI and digital tech at the table.

It's been 3 weeks since the sudden loss of our brother Steve. Plans are being made for a service but in the interim, we wanted to share his Member Focus profile from a few years ago—a great reminder of his wonderful personality. We miss you, Steve. https://t.co/S1Idif0YXB

April 10 marks Equal Pay Day in Canada, spotlighting the extra time women work to match men's earnings from the previous year. This means over three extra months of work for the same pay. Equal Pay Day urges us to push for change, demanding stricter laws to ensure pay equality.
