Workers’ power and success at the bargaining table comes about through solidarity and

organization. This documentary takes us through a brief history of the Canadian Union of Public

Employees (CUPE) public sector negotiations in New Brunswick with an emphasis on

coordinated bargaining and current campaigns since the pandemic. It has many lessons for

anyone in a union or wanting to organize – as we see the strategies and how they brought

about success and improved working conditions for public sector workers in CUPE NB.


This bilingual (English and French) documentary showcases the unity and resilience of 22,000 public sector workers in New Brunswick, Canada, as they strike against wage suppression. It explores strategic mobilization and collective bargaining efforts by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, culminating in a province-wide movement that successfully challenges austerity and sparks labour action across Canada. Produced by the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
