Who we are

As a strong and democratic union, CUPE is committed to improving the quality of life for workers in Canada. Women and men working together to form local unions built CUPE. They did so to have a stronger voice – a collective voice – in their workplace and in society as a whole.

CUPE Local 4156 represents approximately 1,700 members who work for the District School Board of Niagara. Our members hold a diversity of jobs, providing a wide range of services for our students and staff. Our members consist of school secretaries, librarians, computer technicians, educational assistants, designated early childhood educators, maintenance and property services staff, caretakers, payroll and purchasing services staff as well as school support staff.

  • To ensure and promote the well-being of our members and their families
  • To represent and protect our members as to our collective agreements
  • To continue to maintain and improve the social and economic welfare of our members
  • To safeguard the rights of all members and provide responsible representation as to the local’s by-laws and CUPE Constituion

Our Mission

Classifications

Union solidarity is based on the principle that union members are equal and deserve mutual respect at all levels. Any behaviour that creates conflict prevents us from working together to strengthen our union. As unionists, mutual respect, cooperation and understanding are our goals. We should neither condone nor tolerate behaviour that undermines the dignity or self-esteem of any individual or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.
