Build your union skills at CUPE School

We’re starting our own Education Program here at CUPE 3902—it’s actually part of our Action Plan!

This program is open and free to all political members of the Local and includes 14 workshops, each lasting between 2 to 6 hours.

You can sign up for as many workshops as you like. However, space is limited for each workshop and registration is on a first come, first served basis.

It’s happening from October 28–30 (during Reading Week) on campus.
