May 1st – International Workers’ Day

On May Day, we honour workers—past and present—who have fought for the rights and protections we enjoy today. This is a day to reflect, but also to organize.

Here in Prince Edward Island, CUPE members are the backbone of our public services. Whether in healthcare, education, municipalities, or community services, your dedication keeps this province running.

But working people still face serious challenges: affordability, understaffing, and a lack of respect from decision-makers. That’s why CUPE PEI continues to push back—at the bargaining table, in the legislature, and in our communities.

This May 1st, let’s renew our commitment to each other. Let’s keep building a movement that leaves no worker behind.

We celebrate your strength, your resilience, and your solidarity. Together, we will keep fighting for fairness and justice for all.

In solidarity,
CUPE Prince Edward Island
