How to Get Involved

CUPE5524 is built by its members. Whether you have a few minutes to start a conversation, want to attend a meeting, or are ready to take on a leadership role, there are many ways to take part in your union.

☞ Talk

Talk with your fellow workers about the issues that matter to you. Sharing questions, concerns, and experiences helps members understand what is happening across the workplace and strengthens the collective voice of the union.

☞ Meet

Attend General Membership Meetings (GMMs) and other union meetings. These are opportunities to hear updates, ask questions, take part in discussions, and have a voice in decisions that affect the membership.
