Our History
The Toronto Civic Employees’ Union was born during World War I when a dispute over treatment of the British flag sparked a walkout of Toronto’s street cleaners. One thing led to another and less than a year later a full-scale strike was won by the new union, establishing TCEU as a force that has played a central role in the economic and political life of the city since. For the full story of that exciting time, click here.
The first known picture of the members of Toronto Civic Employees’ Union, which has been in place without interruption since being formed in 1917.
The first entry in the minute book of the TCEU notes “A mass meeting was held in the Labour Temple on Monday, Oct 22nd 1917 at 8 p.m."
Local 43 became Local 416 in December 1997 when the Canadian Union Of Public Employees issued a new charter to welcome in the various CUPE locals in the Metropolitan Toronto area as it was being amalgamated by the Ontario government into what was then known as the “mega-city."
The charters of the Toronto-area CUPE Locals who amalgamated to form Local 416 are displayed in the boardroom of the Local’s headquarters on Laird Avenue.
