Member Participation is the foundation of who we are as a Union. In fact, relations between the various parts of the Union were devised to ensure members were at the center for driving change and bringing workplace issues to the forefront.
CUSW is a place where workers come together, express their voice, and create their own future.
The diagrams below illustrate how Units, Committees, Reps., the E-board and Members interact in the workplace and on a Union-wide level.
