On behalf of CUPE Alberta members, we’d like to thank CUPE National Secretary-Treasurer Charles Fleury for his service and wish him a happy retirement.
Charles has been a CUPE member since 1982 when he started working for Hydro-Québec. He has spent decades fighting for equity for workers and has proven himself a strong leader locally, then provincially and finally at the national level.
Charles’ contributions to our movement have been significant; throughout his career he has demonstrated a commitment to building our communities and protecting our environment and our planet. He has fought against cuts and privatization, and campaigned for social justice, here at home and around the globe.
Though Charles is leaving his position with CUPE, we know he is not leaving the movement. We look forward to standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the picket lines and arm-in-arm as we fight for a better, fairer future for everyone.
Thank you, Charles, and we wish you all the best in your retirement.
