Welcome to the Niagara District CUPE Council

The Niagara District CUPE Council is dedicated to uniting and empowering CUPE locals across the Niagara Region through solidarity, advocacy, and collective action. We support our affiliated locals by fostering collaboration, sharing resources, providing a platform for mutual support, and amplifying their voices on regional and provincial issues.

Through active outreach and engagement, we work to strengthen connections with all locals in the region, ensuring their concerns are heard and their efforts supported. Together, we work to advance the rights and wellbeing of all workers by promoting social and economic justice, defending public services, and advocating for fair and inclusive workplaces. Committed to equity and democratic values, we strive to build a stronger labour movement and a more just society for all.
