Greetings CUPE Retirees,
What a time we are in. We’re watching to the south of us where not only have public sector workers faced wholesale firings, but have also seen their collective bargaining rights — indeed their right to belong to a union — stripped away. And that’s not the half of it.
Our very existence as a nation is in the crosshairs. By the time you receive this newsletter, we should be getting close to a federal election day that will shape our country for the next few years at least.
