Description
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is Canada's largest union. With more than 455,000 members from coast to coast, CUPE represents members in a wide range of occupations. They're employed by municipalities, school boards, hospitals and nursing homes, libraries, universities, social service agencies, public utilities, the CBC, the airlines and other institutions. CUPE is a completely democratic union one in which the members make the decisions and set the policies. At all levels, from local meetings to national conventions, it is the rank-and-file members who determine by majority vote what the union does how it operates, what stands it takes on issues, what objectives it sets for the future. The Canadian Union of Public Employees was created in 1963. Before that there were two major organizations representing public employees - the National Union of Public Employees (NUPE) and the National Union of Public Service Employees (NUPSE). Also, there were unaffiliated groups of public employees scattered throughout Canada.
