Proven Leadership
For Secretary-Treasurer
Right now, workers are feeling the pressure. The cost of living keeps rising, public services are stretched, and it can feel like the system isn’t working for the people who keep our communities running. But when I travel across the province and talk with members, I don’t see defeat - I see workers who care deeply about their union and about each other. That’s where our strength comes from.
​
Over the last few years working with the municipal sector, I’ve focused on connecting locals, creating space for conversations, and encouraging members to get involved. When workers start mobilizing, sharing ideas, and supporting each other, our union becomes more powerful.
​
I’m a young municipal worker, and I believe the future of our union depends on engaging more members and building that collective energy. When members are active and organized, we can defend public services and fight for the changes workers deserve.
Convention is an opportunity for us to keep building that momentum together.
Dedicated to Financial Integrity & Growth
Krista Laing is running for Secretary-Treasurer to bring strong financial oversight and a grassroots, member-driven perspective to our union. For the past three years, she has managed the budget of CUPE Ontario’s largest sector while municipal workers faced continued attacks from the Ford government. Through that work, she has focused on making sure our resources support organizing, mobilization, and defending public services.
Krista believes our union’s strength comes from workers in the workplace, not politicians. When members organize, connect across sectors, and stand together, we build the power needed to defend our services and win real gains.
​
As Secretary-Treasurer, she is committed to transparency, accountability, and ensuring every dollar strengthens workers, supports organizing, and invests in the collective power of CUPE members.
