CUPE 2081 would like to wish all of our members a Happy Labour Day.
It is with great pride that we celebrate the hard work we do and recognize the accomplishments of the labour movement and the benefits of having a unionized workplace. The origins of Labour Day come from the struggles of working people and the demand for fairness, and those principles still very much apply today.
We hope this holiday gives you the opportunity to spend time with your friends and family and to reflect on the contributions working people have made by forming unions and fighting for a supportive and
equitable workplace.
