Vote Rob Kerfoot

Since becoming President of CUPE 905, Rob has been a strong advocate and unwavering supporter of our Long-Term Care members. As a new Unit Chair, I have learned a great deal from his guidance, leadership, and willingness to help whenever needed. Rob leads with integrity, listens to members, and is committed to finding solutions through collaboration. I am grateful for his support and proud to endorse him for re-election as President.

I am proud to support our current President as he runs for a second term. Over his first term, I have seen firsthand the dedication and commitment he brings to this position. He genuinely cares about the members he represents, is very transparent and takes his responsibility as President seriously. One of the things I respect most about Rob's leadership is how involved he is at the bargaining table. He doesn't simply leave the work to others—he is there, engaged, listening, advocating, and standing up for the best interest of our members. His presence at the bargaining table demonstrates just how committed he is to making sure our members have a strong voice.

During his first term, Rob has demonstrated what dedicated leadership looks like. He is committed to his position, but more importantly, he is committed to the Members he represents. He takes time to listen, understand member's concerns, and do what he can to help. Leadership is about more than holding a title. It is about showing up, putting in the work, and standing with the people you represent. He has consistently demonstrated that dedication throughout his first term. He has earned my support for another term, and I believe continuing his leadership will be a benefit to our membership. I am proud to stand behind him and support his re-election as our President!

I am pleased to offer my full endorsement of Rob Kerfoot for the upcoming election. As our Local President, Rob has demonstrated a strong commitment to our members and to the future of our Local. His leadership has been especially important during the difficult period following the separation. Keeping a Local together through a significant change like that takes patience, determination, and a willingness to put the interests of the membership first. Rob has worked hard to maintain unity, strengthen relationships among our members, and ensure that our Local continues to move forward. He has taken on the challenges that came with the separation and continued to stand up for our members, even when the circumstances were difficult. Leadership is not always about having an easy path—it is about staying committed when things get difficult. Rob has shown that commitment. He has put in the work to keep our Local together and has continued to represent our members with dedication and perseverance. I believe Rob has earned the trust and confidence of our membership. His experience, commitment, and hard work make him the right person to continue leading our Local. Rob Kerfoot has my full endorsement, and I strongly encourage our members to support him in the upcoming election.

I have been a part of CUPE 905 since December 2023. In my 3 years with the union Rob has been incredibly helpful, supportive and available to me and my unit members. From supporting me as a new unit chair, to making time for calls and emails at all hours Rob was there. Rob’s wealth of knowledge and years of union committee experience have served him well as our union president. The last few years have brought a lot of change to our local and through all of that Rob has been a constant and provided trust and transparency to 905 members and continues the work to strengthen the local.

I've worked alongside Rob for many years and have seen first hand that he is a dedicated leader who doesn’t just talk about change; he works hard and advocates to make it happen. Whether it's standing up for fair wages, fighting for safer working conditions, or making sure every voice is heard, Rob has consistently put our members first. He’s not in this for recognition—yet is in it to support all members equally.

What sets Rob apart is more than just his dedication, knowledge of contracts, policies, etc. it’s his ability to connect, listen, lead with both strength and empathy. His 27 years of union experience and knowledge speaks for itself making it beneficial to assist our CUPE 905 local members and ensure transparency in leadership, building solidarity, unity, inclusiveness and diversity. This is the kind of leadership we need now more than ever.

Although I haven’t had the opportunity to work directly with Rob Kerfoot, I’ve seen the positive impact of his leadership throughout CUPE local 905. He has earned a strong reputation for being approachable, dedicated, and deeply committed to protecting the rights of every member—something that doesn’t go unnoticed.

Whether it's through updates, negotiations, or just the way Rob shows up for the entire membership, it's clear that he leads with integrity and purpose.I am confident that Rob will continue to advocate and represent the Library workers.

I believe Rob has the experience, vision, and heart to take on the role of Union President. I support Rob Kerfoot for President of CUPE 905.

I have known Rob for 4 years now and I believe I can confidently say that there would be noone more qualified for our CUPE Local 905 President than Rob Kerfoot. Rob has always had our backs—no matter what. As President of CUPE Local 905, he’s been a rock for so many of us, always standing up for what’s right and making sure no one gets left behind. He truly cares about the people he represents, and you can see that in the way he shows up, speaks up, and never stops pushing for fairness and respect for every single member.

One of the things that makes Rob stand out is how easy he is to talk to. He’s always available—literally 24/7—and no matter what you’re going through, he’ll take the time to listen and help you figure it out. Whether it’s about accommodations, return-to-work stuff, a tough grievance, or bargaining for a better deal, Rob’s experience and steady approach make all the difference. He knows his stuff, and more importantly, he never makes you feel like you’re going through it alone.

At the end of the day, Rob’s the real deal. He’s honest, he’s down to earth, and he’s fully committed to making things better for all of us—whether that’s fighting for better wages, stronger benefits, or just making sure we’re seen and appreciated. He’s not in it for the spotlight; he’s in it for us. And we’re lucky to have him leading the way.
