CUPE 543 – City of Windsor Indoor Workers
In 2005, Windsor became the first city in Ontario and the second city in Canada (after Calgary) to establish a 311 service. In late 2025, the City of Windsor notified CUPE 543 that it plans to contract out the entire 311 Department.

On March 11, the employer even made a post on its Facebook celebrating the work that CUPE 543 members perform — yet is moving forward with contracting out those very jobs. Where’s the respect?

Please take a moment to sign the petition and help keep these jobs in-house: Windsor Calls - 311 Answers

Solidarity matters. ✊
