Picket Shift Sign Up

A huge shout out to our strike and bargaining committee for their incredible and hard work in organizing the picket sign up.

Thousands of CUPE 500 members have signed up for picket duty shifts and completed their strike pay form in our fight for a fair deal! Thank you to our members for your amazing support and solidarity.

Missed Picket Shift Sign up?

There are some members who may have been out-of-town or off sick for the recent sign up dates.

If you are one of these members and you have not signed up, you can contact  the strike committee by email at: cupe500strike@gmail.com or you can visit the strike headquarters at 1500 Portage Avenue, Monday – Friday, between 9:30 am – 3:00 pm to register. 

Members who still need to complete their strike pay form can do this online or you can contact the strike headquarters to receive a hard copy of the application. The contact number for the Strike Headquarters is 204-221-6531.

Watch for more information

Please continue to keep an eye on your home email or workplace bulletin board for further updates. You can also access all of our bargaining updates on our social media sites or the Local 500 website at cupe500.mb.ca

Important Note: You only need to sign up for email updates once. If you are not receiving our emails and you have already signed up, please check your junk folder before contacting the Local.

Another reason for not receiving our updates, even though you have signed up, is you may have previously unsubscribed or the Local has an incorrect email address for you. In this case only, you should reach out to Norina from our office at ngrestoni@cupe500.mb.ca.

Once again, thank you for your patience and support.

Stronger together!

In solidarity,

Your Bargaining Committee
