March 27^th THURSDAY

The Pink Shirt campaign, was designed to promote kindness, compassion, and a commitment to creating workplaces and communities free from bullying. It serves as a reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard.

In light of recent concerns raised by our Shift 3 members about some of the behaviors being exhibited by certain team leaders, March 27, 2025 the pink shirt holds more significance. By wearing a pink shirt, we are collectively standing up and sending a clear message: Bullying and harassment have no place in our workplace.

We ask that you join us in wearing pink on March 27th to show your support for a bullying-free environment where respect and kindness reign. It’s a simple, yet powerful way for us to come together and remind the employer that our workplace should always be one where everyone feels valued and heard.

Thank you for your ongoing support – let’s make this day count and keep working together for a better workplace for all.

Let’s all come together and wear Pink shirt to start with small gestures of kindness.

“Let the Kindness Grow”

In Solidarity,

Anju Parmar, President

APRIL 5, 2025

8am to 8pm

Vancouver is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE IN THE BY-ELECTION

The City of Vancouver is having a by-election to fill 2 city councillor positions which have become vacant. City councillors make decisions that affect reconciliation, affordability, housing, transit, and climate action.

Local governments were great allies of CUPW in the campaign to halt Canada Post’s conversion of door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes. We need to help community minded, labour friendly folks get elected!

Typically, local elections have lower turnout than federal or provincial elections. Turnout is affected by age, income, and education. People who are more likely to vote are older, have a higher income, and have a higher level of education.

Local governments need to be chosen by the whole, diverse community. Use your vote to help make this happen!

GETTING OUT THE CUPW VOTE

Elections BC has strict rules around election campaigning and financing. Unions are not permitted to advertise about election issues or make contributions to candidates, however unions can engage in member to member communication.

CUPW Vancouver elects delegates to the Vancouver and District Labour Council (VDLC), which is made up of representatives from affiliated unions in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, and the North Shore. For the by-election, the VDLC’s Political Action Committee interviewed candidates and selected those who will govern to support workers and their families.

“The VDLC is proud and excited to endorse both Lucy Maloney (One City), and Annette Reilly (Green Party of Vancouver),” said [VDLC] President Stephen von Sychowski. “Both Lucy and Annette are leaders in the community who know how to get things done. They are committed to working cooperatively to hold the ABC majority accountable, and to be voices for the working people of this city.”

CUPW encourages its members to vote for these candidates.

Go to the City of Vancouver website to find the location  nearest to youDO I GET TIME OFF TO VOTE IN BC LOCAL ELECTIONS?From Elections BC:“Voters are entitled to four consecutive hours free from work to vote during advance voting or on General Voting Day. Voting hours during advance voting are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time and on General Voting Day are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pacific time.“This does not necessarily mean four hours off work. It means that there must be a four-hour period free from work during voting hours. Time off may be at the beginning or end of an employee’s shift, or [time off may be] unnecessary if normal working hours already provide enough time free from work to vote. For example, if a shift ends at 4 p.m., or does not begin until noon, the employee is not entitled to any time off for voting purposes. Employers can decide when their employees can take time off to vote.“It is an offence if an employer deducts your pay or penalizes you for taking time off to vote. You are entitled to your regular compensation for any hours not worked during this time.”In Solidarity,
