Library workers were front and centre today as CUPE recognized and honoured the work that is done in libraries across Alberta. CUPE acknowledged their role in education, research and literacy in our communities.

CUPE Alberta is joining CUPE National to recognize the people who do this important work.

“Our Library workers provide so many vital services” CUPE Alberta President Marle Roberts declared. “We welcome this opportunity to thank and honour their important role in our communities”

CUPE Alberta has prepared an election primer for assessing your municipal and school board candidates. While CUPE Alberta recommends checking out your local Labour District Council for their recommendations, it is important for each of us to be able to assess a candidate who is coming to us at the doorstep.

To help, here are some questions you can ask candidates should they come to your door.
