CUPE Local 5430 is the largest health care union in Saskatchewan, representing over 14,000 members. We represent a wide range of health care providers in five major classification areas: clerical, technical, nursing, support and plant operations. Together, we each contribute to the well-being of hospital patients, long-term care residents and home care clients.

CUPE Local 5430 was founded in 2017 after the following five Locals voted to merge into one provincial union:

  • Prairie North Health Region – now Region 1
  • Prince Albert-Parkland Health Region – now Region 2
  • Regina-Qu’Appelle Health Region – now Region 3
  • Sun Country Health Region – now Region 4
  • Sunrise Health Region – now Region 5
Region 5 Yorkton Region 4 Weyburn Region 3 Regina Region 2 Prince Albert Region 1 North Battleford

The objectives of Local 5430 are to:

1. Secure the best possible pay, benefits, working conditions, job security, pensions and retiree benefits for its members;

2. Provide an opportunity for its members to influence and shape their future through free democratic trade unionism;

3. Encourage the settlement by negotiation and mediation of all disputes between the members and their employers;

4. Eliminate harassment and discrimination of any sort or on any basis; for the equality of treatment regardless of class, race, colour, nationality, age, sex/gender, language, sexual orientation, place of origin, ancestry, religious beliefs, or mental and physical disability; and the active opposition of discrimination of same wherever it occurs or appears;

5. Establish strong working relationships with the public we serve and the communities in which we work and live; and

6. Support CUPE in reaching all the objectives set out in Article II of the CUPE National Constitution.
