Dear Members,

August marks Emancipation Month, a time to reflect on the past and recommit to building a better future. As members of the labour movement, we understand the power of collective action in creating positive change. 

It's important to honour the legacy of those who fought tirelessly against slavery and celebrate the incredible contributions of Black people to our society. From breaking barriers in the workplace to inspiring cultural movements, Black workers have played a vital role in shaping our world. 

While we have made progress, we recognize that systemic racism continues to impact Black workers and communities. This month we recommit to building a more equitable workplace and society. As a Local we commit to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. 

CUPE 4070 stands in solidarity with Black workers and their communities. 

In Solidarity,

Your CUPE 4070 Communications Committee
