CUPE Ontario is our Provincial “watchdog” as many laws affecting CUPE Members are decided by Provincial Governments. In Ontario, school board funding is determined by the Ministry of Education. Provincial Divisions do not “service” CUPE Locals – the Divisions’ role is to lobby, in co-operation with CUPE Locals and “watchdog” legislation and practices of the Provincial Government.
CUPE Ontario is set up into“sectoral groups”. We fall under the school board sector and are part of the CUPE Ontario School Board Council of Unions (OSBCU) formerly known as OSBCC
Each school board local is assigned to an area. We belong to Area 4 of the OSBCU which also includes Durham (both Public and Catholic School Boards),Trillium Lakelands District School Board , PVNC Catholic District School Board, Simcoe County School board & Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board.
