We are going to get a raise.
We will NOT ASK for it. We will DEMAND: an increase of $2/hr, every year, for 4 years, for every single CUPE Education Worker in Alberta!
…Because Education Workers have been too long without a raise.
…Because Education Workers have been using food banks, and working 2-3 other jobs in order to make ends meet.
…Because nobody wants to replace us in our low-wage jobs.
…Because we’re tired.
…Because we’ve been kicked, spit on, threatened with weapons, and insulted on a regular basis.
…Because we’ve been the lowest-paid workers in education in the province for too long.
…Because we NEED a raise.
