CUPE BC has launched an online database of candidates recommended by CUPE Locals or CLC Labour Councils. Please visit the website below, enter your municipality and review the candidates CUPE BC has endorsed. These are candidates that share CUPE values and have made commitments to help workers build strong communities and support inclusive public schools. If you know of any candidates that are worthy of CUPE support who are not listed, please email info@cupe.bc.ca so they can consider adding them to this endorsement list.
