We are the education workers who make public education possible in the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB). We are the first to arrive and the last to leave all schools for Custodial and Maintenance, our knowledge, skills, and dedication keep schools safe, welcoming, and running smoothly so every student has the foundation to succeed.

Through the Ontario School Board Council of Unions (OSBCU), we join with 57,000 CUPE education workers across Ontario to defend public education and fight for the respect and resources our work deserves. Our collective strength gives us the power to take on challenges at the local and provincial level and to win improvements for education workers, students, and communities.

We are part of Canada’s largest union, a movement of 800,000 CUPE members across the country. Our union reflects the diversity of the communities we serve, bringing many cultures, languages, abilities, and experiences to our work. Whether full-time, part-time, or in precarious positions, we stand together for equity, fairness, and strong public services for all.

Through our connection to the Toronto & York Region Labour Council, we build solidarity with other workers to strengthen our collective voice and push for lasting change.

All CUPE members work under the protection of a contract called a Collective Agreement. Your local Union bargains the terms of the agreement. Elected local union leaders also work with the employer to resolve problems in the workplace.

If you have questions about your rights at work, the best person to talk to is your steward or local executive. They will know the specific details of your agreement.

If you would like a paper copy of your collective agreement, please go to the school board website and locate CUPE 1310 Collective Agreement and print off a copy if you need help locating this please speak with your steward. If you don’t know who your steward is, or how to reach your local, please click on the CUPE 1310 Executive Contact information tab, or refer to the CUPE 1310 Executive Contact Information list that was provided to all CUPE employees by the board.
