COVID Shot Confirmed Covered by Greenshield
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
I got my shot, and not even out of pocket. $119.89 at Costco. If you want it, you can know it was covered by a member with level 2 extended health coverage. Shame on the UCP for not covering it, but the employer has stepped up to the plate and covered it through the metrics availiable. Greenshield will pay for it without you even paying out of pocket. It's not 100% so be prepared for a small fee.

What is a General Strike. Why should you care.
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
What happens when a government decides to stream roll through bad bills? You get a bunch of people talking recall and Gernal Strikes. What does that mean. In order for a general strike to even mean anything a bunch more industry and people have to get on board. Do we have it at this point? I don't know, but I am not sure we do. We need to get there and the UCP might be what we need to push it to a go level.

COVID Shot Covered by Greenshield Level 2.
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
Only if you want it. Dependents welcome as well. It is unclear if you will have to get a perscription, but my information is that if you have level 2 coverage you will be able to get the covid booster or shot covered for resonable and customary charges. This is just another area that your benefits are making it easier to get the things the UCP won't cover. Changes to your MEBAC Benefit Plan in 2026 You told us you wanted more flexibility in your wellness options, and we listened!

2025 CUPE Convention - Toronto - Wednesday October 8, 2025
Canadian Union Podcast for Employees'
If you have ever wanted to watch CUPE today would have been the day to do so. Congrats to Mark, and Candice they won their seats for another two years. A general resolution at the end of the day nearly broke the convention. At the very least it shows that trauma over resolutions are real and need to be managed properly.
