News
We know that you have all been working hard to keep Saskatchewan’s health care system running. Thank you for all the hard work you do.
We are preparing for our annual general meeting that will be held on an electronic platform this year as we have to deal with the gathering limitations that COVID has brought us. We look forward to seeing delegates there.
We will also be holding our elections for the provincial positions through electronic voting this fall. Please visit the website to register to vote. There is also some information about how it will work.
Dear Member of CUPE Local 5430:
As you know, we are living in very unusual times. We’ve been forced to change many of our processes in order to keep our members safe and to continue to conduct our business and to keep our members connected.
Our election process has been changed as well. In the past we held elections in our facilities but this time around, that process is next to impossible. As such, the local has determined that elections will be conducted electronically. We realize our bylaws do not allow for electronic elections; however, we have consulted extensively with the National President’s Office and have received not only approval but also kudos for accessing this process.
CUPE National approves virtual AGM due to COVID - 19 - Oct 1 & 2, 2020
I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to reach out to you with an update on what we have been doing since our last update.
We continue to work provincially and regionally to resolve both pandemic-related and other workplace concerns for you and the other members. We encourage you to reach out to your elected officers at the facility level or regional office with any concerns that you may have.
As the number of active cases continues to grow in Saskatchewan – we are carefully watching and continue to have daily briefings with representatives from the Ministry of Health and the Saskatchewan Health Authority. We know that CUPE members are on the frontlines of fighting this pandemic and are the backbone of the pandemic response.
(SASKATCHEWAN) The unions representing health care providers in Saskatchewan are concerned that the latest expansion of the COVID-19 wage top-up for essential workers still falls short.
On July 30, the government announced it would be lifting the income threshold and expanding coverage for workers at integrated facilities.
The government’s latest expansion of the provincial wage top-up for essential workers is a step in the right direction, but it still leaves too many frontline workers behind,” said Pearl Blommaert, Vice President of CUPE Local 5430. “Our members who work in acute care, and many other areas are not included in the expansion. Every health care worker deserves recognition for the unprecedented challenges they are dealing with every day.”
The Saskatchewan Division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE Saskatchewan) is currently accepting applications from members of affiliated Local Unions to serve on the Task Force for Member Engagement. Applications for consideration of appointment and other information is contained in the notice.

Thirteen years ago, when Sidney Hall started working as a continuing care aid, he enjoyed going to work and could joke with the residents.
Now they often don’t get the care they deserve.
“Unfortunately, there is no joviality anymore. Sometimes you can have a laugh and joke but it’s mainly rushing. And it’s sad. From when I started to what I see now, it is a sad business,” said Hall.
I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to reach out with an update on what we have been working on since the last president’s update.
Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)
We know that COVID-19 and the cohorting ordered by the public health order have negatively affected some of our members and reduced their income.
Casual and part-time employees who have had their hours reduced or are not getting any hours as a result of COVID-19, but are not laid off, can still access the CERB, as long as they’re making $1,000 or less per month in employment and/or self-employment income.
June 21 is National Indigenous People's Day. CUPE acknowledges and respects the rights of Indigenous peoples to their unceded territories, as well as to preserve and protect their cultures and languages. We committed to working with Indigenous nations, communities and organizations towards reconciliation, and to respect our ongoing treaty relationships.
