Please continue to keep an eye on your home email or workplace bulletin board for further updates. You can also access all of our bargaining updates on our social media sites or the Local 500 website at cupe500.mb.ca

Important Note: You only need to sign up for email updates once. If you are not receiving our emails and you have already signed up, please check your junk folder before contacting the Local.

Another reason for not receiving our updates, even though you have signed up, is you may have previously unsubscribed or the Local has an incorrect email address for you. In this case only, you should reach out to Norina from our office at ngrestoni@cupe500.mb.ca.

Once again, thank you for your patience and support.

Stronger together!
