About Us

The Canadian Union of Public Employees is the largest union in Saskatchewan, representing over 27,000 members who work at health care facilities, school boards, municipalities, universities, libraries, community-based organizations and various boards and agencies.

In Saskatchewan, there are over 175 CUPE locals, which are directly chartered to the national union. Members of these locals have their servicing needs met by national representatives and specialist staff working out of offices in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert.

CUPE Saskatchewan is the political and policy arm of the union in the province. A 16-member executive is elected to carry out the resolutions passed at the annual convention and present the union's positions to government and the media. Nine standing committees advise the CUPE Saskatchewan executive on a variety of issues and develop action programs and educational conferences for the membership.

Over the years, CUPE Saskatchewan has played a vital role in fighting for progressive labour legislation and quality public services, as well as coordinating support for striking and locked out locals.
