Fair wages and workers rights for Alberta education workers cupe.ca/fair-wages-and…

#Red4EdAb

Alberta's school divisions are being forced to take direction from the province in bargaining. There's no denying this premier intents to continue interfering to try to keep front-line workers' wages down. But CUPE members won't be having it. We're united to achieve fair deals.

Alberta CUPE Locals are growing STRONGER together. Solidarity from communities across the province with Locals 2545 & 2559, we are ALL with you! ✊💥 #WagingAhead #CUPE #CUPEAlberta #PaintAlbertaPurple #PaintABPurple

Today we wear orange to honour Indigenous children lost to residential schools, survivors, families & communities where the pain is still felt. This photo is a symbol of our union's solidarity and commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay🧡

Workers have a legal right to strike in Canada. It’s protected by the Constitution. Alberta’s “Disputes Inquiry Board” process violates those rights. EPSB’s Superintendent should never have asked for a DIB and the UCP should never impose one (though they probably will).

CUPE 3550 RESPONSE TO PROVINCIAL DISPUTE INQUIRY BOARD INTERFERENCE IN BARGAINING AND RIGHT TO STRIKE. “We aren’t going to be able to get those skilled workers and keep them if they have to work short-staffed for poverty wages,” said Lamoureux. #AbLeg #AbPoli #AbLab

President of CUPE Local 474 speaks to the media about the issues members are facing working in Edmonton Public Schools after 97% of the membership voted yes to taking strike action. #AbLeg #AbPoli #AbLab #WagingAhead #PaintABPurple

“CUPE 3550 President Mandy Lamoureux says the board is paying $230 per day per teacher, considerably more than the wage being asked for by support workers in the strike.”

It all starts with a strong public education system—without it, we have nothing. To every educational support worker and ally on the picket lines, thank you for standing up and fighting back.

CUPE 30 members with the City of Edmonton are standing up for fair wages. Workers are demanding respect at the bargaining table. #ableg #abpoli

CUPE National President Mark Hancock has a message for the more than 4,000 Alberta education support workers on strike: you are not alone. The more than 750,000 members of CUPE across Canada are on your side! Solidarity! CUPE National #ableg #abed

Education workers deserve a raise - that's why more than 4,000 are on strike and more could join them soon unless the provincial government lifts its wage cap and provides more support for Alberta education. Our kids deserve quality education. #ablel #abed

We had some VIP guests at the picket line in Okotoks today! All kids have a right to an education. That's why we're fighting for fair wages for education support workers and for proper funding for our schools. FUND EDUCATION NOW 👏
