Who We Are & Why We Fight


We are the workers who keep Alberta running. "We Work for Alberta" is a movement of over 44,000 CUPE members and everyday Albertans fighting to protect the public services we all rely on.

Right now, Alberta is facing a crunch. Our ERs are overwhelmed, classrooms are packed, and the cost of living is pushing working families to the brink. We believe a stronger Alberta means putting people first.
