The community depends on our services;
Our services depend on the people who deliver them.
CUPE Local 2189 was formed in 1975 at YWCA Toronto to advocate for workers’ rights and well-being. The union negotiates with management to secure fair wages, benefits, and workplace protections, all reflected in our collective agreement.
Members of Local 2189 work at YWCA Toronto, an organization dedicated to advancing equity, economic security, and safety for women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Our members contribute to various essential programs, including housing, employment and training, community support, and programs for children, youth, and families. While many in the community rely on these services, they, in turn, rely on the dedicated workers who provide them.
