Electronic Voting
Dear Member of CUPE Local 5430:
As you know, we are living in very unusual times. We’ve been forced to change many of our processes in order to keep our members safe and to continue to conduct our business and to keep our members connected.
Our election process has been changed as well. In the past we held elections in our facilities but this time around, that process is next to impossible. As such, the local has determined that elections will be conducted electronically. We realize our bylaws do not allow for electronic elections; however, we have consulted extensively with the National President’s Office and have received not only approval but also kudos for accessing this process.
PLEASE REGISTER!

I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to reach out to you with an update on what we have been doing since our last update.
We continue to work provincially and regionally to resolve both pandemic-related and other workplace concerns for you and the other members. We encourage you to reach out to your elected officers at the facility level or regional office with any concerns that you may have.
As the number of active cases continues to grow in Saskatchewan – we are carefully watching and continue to have daily briefings with representatives from the Ministry of Health and the Saskatchewan Health Authority. We know that CUPE members are on the frontlines of fighting this pandemic and are the backbone of the pandemic response.
(SASKATCHEWAN) The unions representing health care providers in Saskatchewan are concerned that the latest expansion of the COVID-19 wage top-up for essential workers still falls short.
On July 30, the government announced it would be lifting the income threshold and expanding coverage for workers at integrated facilities.
The government’s latest expansion of the provincial wage top-up for essential workers is a step in the right direction, but it still leaves too many frontline workers behind,” said Pearl Blommaert, Vice President of CUPE Local 5430. “Our members who work in acute care, and many other areas are not included in the expansion. Every health care worker deserves recognition for the unprecedented challenges they are dealing with every day.”
The Saskatchewan Division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE Saskatchewan) is currently accepting applications from members of affiliated Local Unions to serve on the Task Force for Member Engagement. Applications for consideration of appointment and other information is contained in the notice.
