What We Do
CUPE 2669 represents public library workers in the City of Saskatoon at nine Saskatoon Public Library locations. Our members:
- provide you with free library cards
- check out library materials for you to borrow
- select, order, catalogue and process library materials
- plan and deliver library programs and services
- assist you in finding information, in the library system and beyond
- check in and shelve library materials that you have returned
- And more!
CUPE 2669 members work with community groups and organizations, children, seniors and newcomers. We’re proud of the work we do in Saskatoon.
Equality statement
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.
Discriminatory speech or conduct which is racist, sexist, transphobic or homophobic hurts and thereby divides us. So too, does discrimination on the basis of ability, age, class, religion, language and ethnic origin.
Sometimes discrimination takes the form of harassment. Harassment means using real or perceived power to abuse, devalue or humiliate. Harassment should not be treated as a joke. The uneasiness and resentment that it creates are not feelings that help us grow as a union.
Discrimination and harassment focus on characteristics that make us different; and they reduce our capacity to work together on shared concerns such as decent wages, safe working conditions, and justice in the workplace, society and in our union.
CUPE’s policies and practices must reflect our commitment to equality. Members, staff and elected officers must be mindful that all persons deserve dignity, equality and respect.
