CUPE-EWBT Therapeutic Class Pricing (TCP) update!

Please click on the link regarding CUPE-EWBT changes regarding the implementation offor prescription drugs. TCP is a plan provision that reduces reimbursement for higher-cost medications in drug classes where lower-cost, equally safe, and effective options are available.

The implementation date has been set for November 30, 2025. This gives members time to consult with their pharmacists or physicians about possible changes and, where appropriate, pursue an exemption process.

You can view the full September 30, 2025, update here: CUPE EWBT TCP Update

 

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation-from CUPE ON.

On September 30, CUPE Ontario and the Indigenous Council join with all CUPE members in solemn commemoration of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This day is one we set aside to honour the survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and the families and communities whose lives and cultures have been profoundly damaged by anti-Indigenous colonial policies.
For non-Indigenous members of CUPE Ontario, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time of reflection and remembrance, education and introspection.
September 30 is also often called Orange Shirt Day, and many of us will wear orange as an outward sign of our commitment to truth and justice for First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
Together, we can reaffirm our goal of repairing the legacy of harm done to Indigenous peoples.
