What cupe/scfp does

CUPE 2626 (SCFP 2626), legally the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 2626, is an active labor union local based at the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It represents thousands of workers in academic roles—teaching and research assistants, markers, tutors, lab monitors, demonstrators, and proctors—and in lifeguard, head-lifeguard, aquatic-instructor, and residence-life roles. The local is a chapter of CUPE National and is member-governed through General Assemblies and an elected Executive Board.

CUPE 2626's core offering is collective representation: collective bargaining, member representation, grievance handling, workplace advocacy, and support for harassment, discrimination, job-security, workload, and workplace-treatment issues. It also operates member-benefit programs, including emergency and grocery support, solidarity funding, conference and financial-aid funds, health and dental support, free language courses, and job-security guarantees. The organization is not a technology company: the supplied data labels its core technology as not applicable and reports no API, app, AI modalities, or proprietary features. It operates through member dues, and membership is automatic for eligible University of Ottawa workers covered by collective agreements; no public dues levels, revenue, headcount, or pricing data are disclosed.
