Inside workers – we work for you!
There are many ways you can get involved. Be on the executive team as a Member at Large or Sergeant at Arms, or be on a planning committee – from upcoming events, to research, to employee group opportunities.
Interested? Come to your next general membership meeting (the second Tues of each month – Young Room, Cambridge City Hall), or email a member of the 1882 executive.
However you choose to get involved, together we are stronger and we will make a difference!
Our President’s term is done! Thank you Warren Shaw and 1882 Executive for guiding us through our last Labour dispute and negotiating our current Collective Agreement.
As unionized workers, we benefit from the work of those who went before us – our wages, benefits, and rights were won at the bargaining table. They were not “given” to us.
We owe a lot to the members of the union who preceded us. We have come a long way! But our day-to-day experiences show that we have further to go. We not only need to defend our legacy, but we must build on it too.
The more we support each other the more successful we will be.
Join us as we chose our new 1882 Union Leaders – elect your new executive to lead us in the next round of negotiations and say farewell to Warren Shaw and his team!

Attention all OMERS Pension members:
The OMERS Sponsors Board wants to make changes to your pension that will have a significantly negative impact on your retirement. You can find the detail here.
There are a number of things we need to do to stop these changes from going ahead.
Send a new email to the chairs of the OMERS Sponsors Board and let them know you do not want them to go ahead with the proposed changes. Click here to send the email.
Write to your employer right away to let them know that if they are planning to hold any workplace OMERS meetings that you expect them to notify and include the local union.
