CUPE — Canadian Union of Public Employees
Canada's largest union. If your CUPE local ignored a harassment complaint or protected a toxic team leader, file a Duty of Fair Representation (DFR) complaint with your provincial Labour Board.
Live anonymized intelligence on verified workplace psychological abuse patterns across four jurisdictions. No worker names. No manager names. Only the math — and the math is damning.
Companies registered in the WorkWars Voluntary Compliance Program receive a dedicated response channel, a 30-day remediation window before public escalation, and — if the issue is resolved — a public "Verified Responsive" badge that improves your score.
Every verified entry you submit to the vault adds to this data. The more workers report, the harder it becomes for companies and unions to ignore systemic abuse. Your identity stays cryptographically protected. Their pattern becomes undeniable.
Add Your Voice to the Vault →The data above shows where complaints are clustering by sector and region. In many of these cases, workers reported that their union was told — and did nothing. Every major union in Canada, the USA, the UK, and France has a legal Duty of Fair Representation. If yours failed you, find it below and understand your rights.
