Congrulations To all Our Winners. Also, all donations from the tickets went to the Saskatoon Food Bank.
On another positive note the Saskatoon Blades won in a shoot out!
URGENT re: STF Walk Out
As you have most likely heard, the STF has given a 5 day notice of intention to walk out in an attempt to encourage meaningful bargaining and to allow parents and caregivers a chance to adjust if necessary.
The walk-out is scheduled to happen on Tuesday Jan 16.
Please remember that CUPE stance is not to take on any duties currently provided by an STF member.
Support staff needs to report to work unless given other direction by their employer. Please make sure that your members are not being directed to do work of other classifications on this day.
Discussions have been held with the STF and they are aware that CUPE members need to report to work and therefore cross any picket lines that may be in place. We would encourage members to use other doors to enter the school where possible so that physically crossing the line is avoided. Administrators should be available to walk members across the line if necessary.
If your local receives instructions from the employer that are vastly different that what is in this memo, please contact the EWSC Chair omar.murray13@outlook.com ) or Janice Janzen (jjanzen@cupe.ca) so that we know what is happening around the province.

CUPE 4254 Scholarship
Part of CUPE Local 4254’s mission is to improve working conditions for all its members. In addition to this we want to encourage and inspire youth to imagine a world in which all workers are supported and represented. CUPE Local 4254 dreams of a Saskatchewan where all youth are informed about the importance of unions and the good work that unions have done in improving working conditions for workers. As a part of that mission CUPE Local 4254 has created a scholarship of $500.00 awarded to one youth who is graduating from a Saskatchewan high school, or who is currently enrolled in a recognized university, college, or trade school. Scholarship applicants are invited to respond to the essay question and submit their application along with their essay to scholarship4254@gmail.com by November 1, 2023.
Please check the link above for scholarship application.
We look forward to reading your application and essay and wish you all the best as you prepare to enter the workforce!
In solidarity,
The CUPE Local 4254 Scholarship Committee
