Today at the CUPE Saskatchewan convention, The Leader of the Official Opposition Carla Beck brought a keynote address to delegates, who voted to formally reaffirm its affiliation to the Saskatchewan NDP for the coming year.

“Carla Beck brought energy to our convention and a welcome commitment to fight for Saskatchewan workers,” said Kent Peterson, president of CUPE Saskatchewan. “Scott Moe and the Sask. Party have been missing in action. Carla Beck is putting forward a courageous vision for Saskatchewan in these uncertain times.”

Carla’s speech took place on the final day of convention, closing three successful days of members connecting, building solidarity and celebrating CUPE’s successes.

On the issue of tariffs, Beck emphasized “Scott Moe and the Sask. Party may have rolled over but let me assure you we are ready to fight. And we’re ready to fight not just tariffs but for the future of Canada and Saskatchewan’s place in it. It’s going to take all of us, working together, friends, but the future is ours. We just need to reach out and seize it. Elbows up!”

“We are staring down unprecedented economic threats and now is the time for strong leadership,” added Peterson. “Saskatchewan people need to come together to elect leaders like Carla Beck and other progressive politicians that will fight for the working people of this province.”
