"It's not just Local 325 members fighting, it's all 390,000 of us." — Bert Blundon, NUPGE Secretary-Treasurer

Ottawa (16 March 2021) — An injury to one is an injury to all — that's the message the 390,000-member-strong National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is sending to the CEO of Molson Coors after locking out 300 members of the Canadian Union of Brewery and General Workers (CUBGW), Local 325. CUBGW Local 325 is a Component of NUPGE. 

The National Union and its Component, the Canadian Union of Brewery and General Workers (CUBGW), are extending condolences to the families and colleagues of the workers killed at the Molson Coors plant in Milwaukee.

The Canadian Union of Brewery and General Workers welcomed 13 new members at orientation held on October 25, 2019 and November 1, 2019.  We thank these members for taking the time to join us and are proud to call these members our brothers and sisters.

Our annual Union Education Week took place at Fern Resort in Orillia from May 27-31, 2019.  This is an annual event for our entire union committee to get together outside of the normal work environment.  This year's guest speaker Eddie Ste. Marie is a recent retiree from the Canadian Labour Council(CLC).

The Canadian Brewery Council was held June 24- 26, 2019 in St.John's Newfoundland.  The brewery council has been meeting yearly since the 1990's and has a coalition of two dozen brewery union locals from across the country.

This national Convention marks a 43 year milestone for the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE). 2019 also marks the 100 year anniversary of the Winnipeg General Strike.

Winnipeg (19 June 2019) — The Triennial Convention, with delegates from all components, is the supreme governing body of NUPGE. Between conventions, the National Union's governing body is the National Executive Board, which comes from the leadership of all the components (see more).

 After one of the most difficult rounds of bargaining in the history of the Canadian Union of Brewery and General Workers (CUBGW), Component 325, a settlement was finally reached with Molson Coors.
