CUPE – Local 1656 at Region of Waterloo

On Strike since March 3, 2025

Show your solidarity on social media

CUPE Local 1656 members are on strike at the Region of Waterloo as a result of Region of Waterloo Council turning its back on workers and breaking promises they made during negotiations.

Waterloo Regional Chair Karen Redman and Waterloo Regional Council lied to workers. They offered members of CUPE Local 1656 higher wages one day, and then took back their offer the next. CUPE 1656 members won’t stand for an employer that negotiates in bad faith, and neither will we.

All CUPE members, community members, and labour unions are needed to show their solidarity for our CUPE Members in the Region of Waterloo, and to pressure Council into negotiating a fair deal in good faith.

Join them at the picket lines:
4881 Fountain St. N. Breslau, ON
Mondays 4am – 8am, 8am – 12pm, 5pm – 9pm
