CUPE’s community health sector locals would like to meet with you to personally express our appreciation for the outstanding work you do. We have partnered with Lush Handmade Cosmetics who join us in thanking our members who continue to provide critical public service during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We will be setting up at safe locations at various worksites to express our gratitude and provide a token of our appreciation from Lush soaps. Please watch for communication from your CUPE local in the coming weeks, with information on specific worksite locations, dates and the times we’ll be visiting.
SHOWCASING YOUR WORK—We are also encouraging our members to participate in a special promotional project within CUPE that will highlight your experiences on the job during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this project, we are interested not only in your day-to-day role, but also stories of redeployment and the tasks you’ve been assigned to in responding to the pandemic. This is a rare opportunity to highlight your vital role in the health care system under extraordinary circumstances. A professional photographer will be made available for this project.
If you are interested in participating, please contact CUPE Health Coordinator Chris Losito at closito@cupe.ca or at (604) 291-1940, ext. 286.
MORE UPDATES—With so many new developments during the crisis, we are frequently updating the Frequently Asked Questions document on our COVID-19 web page. This week, we’ve added some new information about the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit. There’s also an update on accessing childcare and the process you should follow if you have non-school-age (0-K) children.
