Our History
A group of school board workers in Windsor organized to become CUPE Local 27 in 1943. In 1998 the Essex County School Board and the Windsor Board of Education were amalgamated to form the new Greater Essex County District School Board. This amalgamation saw the merging of both CUPE 27 and CUPE 1243 into the new CUPE Local 27. The new Local 27 drew on the experience of Local 1243, which was formed in 1969.
Our Union strives to become an active partner in our school communities. CUPE 27 donates to Breakfast Programs, school teams, local community sports teams, and various charities. Local 27 is a proud supporter of Earth Week activities.
Members of CUPE 27 are Helping Our Students Succeed.
