Workers’ Remembrance at Burnaby Village Museum

by

CUPE 23 members, please join us on Friday, November 9, 2018 at Noon at the Memorial Fountain at the Burnaby Village Museum as we remember and honour those members of the Burnaby Civic Employees’ Union who served our country and gave their lives in the First World War. We will take the opportunity to recognize the service of all who came after them in other conflicts and missions around the world. We will gather and observe a minute of silence to acknowledge their sacrifices.

Pacific Blue Cross AGM Tues. July 24 @ Hilton Metrotown

by

All CUPE 23 members who receive extended health benefits are members of Pacific Blue Cross.

Last year they locked out their employees, members of CUPE 1816. Last year over 800 union members showed up to the annual general meeting to replace half of the PBC board with directors who would respect the workers. This year we have the chance to make sure the other half of the board also value their workers. CUPE 1816 is endorsing the 5 people listed below for election to the board.

Come out to the Hilton Metrotown on Tuesday July 24.

Bring your PBC card and photo ID.

Registration starts at 3pm, AGM is at 6pm.
