Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union (COPE; Template:Langx) is a Canadian labour union representing approximately 35,000 white-collar workers, in both the private and public sectors, in 35 locals across Canada.[1]
Composed of former locals of the American-based Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU), in 2004, 74 per cent of Canadian members voted in favour of forming their own, autonomous Canadian union.[2] In June of that year, Canadian delegates withdrew from proceedings at the OPEIU international convention and formed COPE.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
COPE is a member of the Canadian Labour Congress.[3]
