About CUPE The Canadian Union of Public Employees is Canada's largest union, with 750,000 members across the country.
CUPE represents workers in health care, emergency services, education, early learning and childcare, municipalities, social services, libraries, utilities, transportation, airlines and more.
We have 68 offices across the country, in every province.
CUPE advocates for workers who deliver the public services people depend on.
Our members work in hospitals, schools, municipalities, and many other public spaces.
We help our members provide the highest level of service by ensuring they are safe and healthy at work, and that they get fair pay and benefits for the services they provide.
We also advocate for better public services, like improvements to public health care and to the Canada Pension Plan, which would improve our communities and the lives all Canadians.

Work will substantially deal with the laws and practices applicable to the practice of law in Ontario, and may also deal with federal jurisdiction and other provincial jurisdictions.

• Ability to work in English is required.
Ability to work in French is an asset.

Knowledge of labour law, understanding of trade union principles and/or prior involvement in a trade union is an asset.

The Articling Student is provided with office space at our National Office, but is permitted to work from home when in-person attendance is not required.
Start Date
Articles can begin between June and August.
The usual start date is the last Monday in July.
Salary and Benefits
• $1,266.30 / week
• Law Society of Ontario Lawyer Licensing Process fees.
• Comprehensive staff benefit package including extended health, dental and employee assistance plan.
• Monthly transportation allowance of $130.50 available upon request (if not using employer-provided parking).
