CUPE Local 416

The heat and very poor air quality from northern wildfires continues in Toronto today. Take a break from the heat at more than 500 indoor cooling spaces across the city of Toronto. Find cool indoor spaces near you at toronto.ca. Thank you to workers across the city of Toronto for the work you do, and thanks to those keeping our cooling centres open and running. #HeatAlert #Toronto #StrongerTogether

👋 Caught up with Paramedics Kristen and Zack after a call. A big thank you to all the paramedics and first responders who worked this weekend, caring for #Toronto. 💙

Thank you, @MayorOliviaChow, for recognizing the tireless efforts of our members, alongside our fellow first responders at @Local416 and @TPFFA. Toronto is a city we are proud to represent and one we are honoured to protect. We remain committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all who call it home. Together, even in the wake of violence, we will continue to stand strong.

It is with profound sadness that we mourn the sudden passing of a member of our Service. Our thoughts are with their loved ones, friends, and our staff as we grieve this heartbreaking loss together. #HeroesInLife

A heartfelt shoutout to TCEU 416 for helping us make a bold and visible statement at Toronto Pride. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and the difference your support made.

Local 416 Executive Board Members and Transportation Division Members were pleased to welcome OMERS CEO Blake Hutcheson, Chief Pension Officer Celine Chiovitti, and members of the OMERS team to a City of Toronto Transportation Services Yard for an important discussion and Q+A session regarding pensions, benefits, and the future of retirement security for our members. Local 416 remains committed to ensuring the voices of our Members are heard at every level. By fostering mutual understanding, collaboration, and respect, we can work together to strengthen retirement security and deliver the best possible outcomes for the workers who keep Toronto safe, clean, and moving every day. #Local416 #OMERS #Pensions #RetirementSecurity #StrongerTogether

Local 416 and OMERS are bringing retirement security directly to the workplace.   Through a new series of member-focused information sessions, workers will have the opportunity to hear directly from pension experts, ask questions, and gain a better understanding of one of the most valuable benefits they earn throughout their careers.   Together, we're creating greater access, greater understanding, and greater confidence in the future.   #OMERS #Local416 #FutureForward #RetirementSecurity #StrongerTogether

On behalf of CUPE Local 416 and the first responders we represent, we are devastated by the tragic loss of Toronto Police Service Constable Marc Pinizzotto, who was killed in the line of duty during a police operation in North York today. Today, our entire first responder community mourns alongside the Pinizzotto family, his friends, colleagues, and all members of the Toronto Police Service. Every day, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and other emergency personnel put themselves in harm's way to protect our communities. The sacrifice made today is a painful reminder of the risks they face in service to others. As union members and fellow first responders, we understand the profound bond that exists among those who answer the call in moments of crisis. When one of us falls, all of us feel the loss. We extend our deepest condolences to Constable Pinizzotto's loved ones and to every member of the Toronto Police Service grieving this unimaginable tragedy. We also hold in our thoughts all first responders and frontline personnel affected by today's events.
