The 2026 Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) Convention wraps up today! 💫
CUPE 3903 delegates were there at the CLC Convention to make connections, build collective power, and show support for important issues. ✊
In collaboration with @labourforpalestine activists, delegates from unions like 3903 overwhelmingly voted to support a Palestine solidarity resolution that cuts ties with Histadrut, standing against occupation and in solidarity with workers worldwide. 🍉
Social unionism means making our communities better even beyond our own workplace. 🗺️ Together, we can make real change happen! #clc2026

It’s International Workers’ Day! 🌐
Today, we celebrate the labour movement’s continued fight for equity, justice, and fair working conditions. ✊
Also known as May Day, today is an opportunity for CUPE 3903 members to reflect on our collective potential and imagine a better future for workers both here & abroad. 💭
The first step in building stronger solidarity can be as simple as showing up to a union meeting or event (like these members, who were at yesterday’s Celebration Lunch & Stewards’ Council meeting!) 💫 #UnionStrong
How do we bargain a strong contract that keeps up with changing technology in our workplace? 🤔
How do we protect our work from the increasing impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) and maintain our agency as educators? 🤖
Let’s talk about it! 🗣️ Join fellow CUPE 3903 members via Zoom on Monday, April 30, from 1-3PM.
Come to this Bargaining Townhall for a discussion about how AI intersects with bargaining, as we collaborate together to figure out how our bargaining proposals can make sure new technologies aren’t left unchecked. ✊
We’ll be talking about prioritizing choice, data privacy, and more. Be part of the conversation! 🌟 cupe3903.org/event/ai-townhall/
