As an employee of the Calgary Public Library or Cochrane Public Library, you automatically belong to the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1169 representing the workers at Calgary Public Library and Cochrane Public Library.
CUPE Local 1169 automatically represents you as a condition of employment, and as such, 2% of your gross salary is deducted in order to support the operation of your Union. In order to be a “member in good standing”; attend Union meetings and vote on matters of importance having full “voice and vote”, you must pay to the Union a $2 (two) initiation fee. Why? It has been determined by the labour relations board for the Province of Alberta that full membership in a Union requires each member to pay a minimum of $2 (two) as an initiation fee.
As a member in good standing you are eligible to participate in a variety of educational courses such as “conflict resolution”, “creating racial justice”, “effective leadership”, and many other courses designed to enrich both yourself and your worksite.
