21st Annual Director’s Charity Golf Tournament

Thursday, August 22, 2019

Loyalist Golf and Country Club

1 Loyalist Blvd., Bath, ON

The draw will take place on July 15 at 10am.

All members are welcome to submit their information for the draw. No experience necessary.

Over 600 T-shirts were sorted and packed today. They will be delivered over the next three days. We are asking that all CUPE 1479 members wear their Tshirts on Thursday to show support to the OSBCU (Ontario School Board Council of Unions) who will be at the Central Bargaining Table negotiating a contract for us. Remember that all items at the Central Bargaining Table are all those items that cost money. For example sick leave, raises, benefits, allowances and so on.

Please email pictures to lizjamescupe1479@gmail.com or post via Twitter @cupe1479 or to our CUPE 1479 or CUPE OSBCU Area 5 Facebook pages. Don’t forget the #powerofpubliceducation

The triangle is the strongest shape, just like #powerofpubliceducation

T Shirt Order information

May 24, 2019 by CUPE 1479

The CUPE 1479 Mobilization Committee is happy to announce the Local will be providing complimentary t-shirts for all CUPE 1479 members. Members must sign up through their site representative for their free shirt.

You are able to chose one (1) t-shirt in your choice of black or purple, fitted or non-fitted style, and of course your size.

Attached to this email are:

Samples of both purple and black shirts-please note the mock up is only on the fitted style but represents what it will look like on both fitted and non fitted shirts
Sizing charts for fitted and non fitted styles. Please go by the sizes available on the order form, not the size chart. **please note that fitted t-shirts fit small**

You must see your CUPE site representative no later then May 31 to order a shirt. Orders will not be taken after this date. I know the turn around time is short, however the time to have orders processed is two weeks from date of submission to the supplier.

These shirts are meant to be used as a solidarity action. You will be asked to wear them to show the government and CTA that we are standing in solidarity together during bargaining. We ask that you wear your shirt on Education Worker Wednesdays, when the OSBCU is at the central bargaining table, Local Bargaining Committee is in bargaining, during job action and any other time you would like to show you are a proud CUPE education worker!

If you are interested in ordering more than one shirt the cost will be $15 and cheque can be made out to CUPE Local 1479 or cash will be excepted.

Hopefully everyone has received their CUPE 1479 buttons and are proudly wearing them.

If you have any questions please see your CUPE site rep.
