As a result of a recent Strategic Planning Session the CUPE Local 1842 Executive along with CUPE Education reps have identified areas in which to improve how we function as a local and have set priorities to move forward.
Developing a Mission Statement and Core Values for our local was an important first step. We are pleased to announce that we presented both a Mission Statement and Core Values at our July, 10th General Membership Meeting where is was passed by the membership and will be officially adopted by the Local.
