Bargaining has begun!!

Good day, brothers and sisters!

This is a very tense and exciting time for our union members!

The process of collective bargaining for the next contract is under way.

We are collectively looking to our bargaining teams to bring us a document that is our financial base for years to come. Please click on the OPSEU link to the right for updates.

We are also looking to the employer to do what is right for our members after the sacrifices we have made for all these years to keep the Ontario Public Service cost effective.

We want FULL-TIME jobs in our communities and the ability to ensure that our pensions will be there when we need them.

We want our families to know we can provide for them as the costs of living increase and with our benefits intact.

It is with this in mind that Local Presidents in our Corrections division call to the membership that are in acting positions to step down into their bargaining unit positions effective November 12, 2008.

In the simplest terms, NO MORE ACTING, in support of the bargaining teams.

It is time for the employer to come to the table with a positive contract offer.
WE ARE WAITING!!
In solidarity, Emidio.
