The Regina Civic Employees’ Pension Plan is in trouble. The City of Regina is refusing to implement the deal signed by all parties in May 2013 and increase its contributions as required.

Registered participants will be advised of the cancellation and, accordingly, registration fee payments received by CUPE Saskatchewan will be returned via regular mail.
Celebrate Pride in our union and communities
Pride festivities across Canada and around the world held annually in June offer an opportunity to celebrate diversity, to promote inclusiveness and to highlight the human rights issues that affect Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, and Intersex (LGBTTI) members of our union and our communities.
In the workplace and in our communities, unions are at the forefront in protecting LGBTTI workers from discrimination and harassment, and supporting human rights, dignity and equality for all workers.
As Saskatchewan’s community union, CUPE proudly celebrates Pride and the role unions play in making our country a more fair and inclusive place for everyone.
