Celebrating August 6

The second anniversary of our historic mobilization on August 6, 2021, is fast approaching. This momentous day for our union is a time for celebration and solidarity, and presents all CIU members with the opportunity to reflect on our joint achievements and victories. As bargaining and the fight for a fair contract ramps up for the FB group in the wake of the recent Treasury Board strike, it is also the occasion to come together and consider how to best build on the foundations we’ve laid.

To mark the day, your Branch may be planning activities (on or around August 6), so make sure to check with your Branch President for more details.

August 6 commemorative t-shirts

This year, we’re also making it easier for CIU members to show the employer they remember August 6 and are ready to fight for their rights when the time comes. T-shirts with a special commemorative message are currently being distributed to CIU Branches across the country, and will be available (while quantities last) as a gift to any member who wish to display their pride in this important victory. Talk to your Branch President for more information.
