Do you want to be a member mobilizer in the most important round of bargaining for OPS Unified?
Your OPS Unified Bargaining Team is launching a campaign that will transform collective bargaining for the OPS.
Over the past few decades, government after government has underfunded and dismantled our public services. As our employer, their actions have resulted in staffing cuts, recruitment and retention challenges, increased workloads and privatization. All of this has weakened our bargaining power and undermined the vital services we provide.
Currently, we are in Emergency and Essential Services Bargaining, but there is still much work to be done. By engaging and organizing our workplaces and locals, we’re making sure that we hear from all of you about the issues that matter most as we prepare for and enter issues bargaining.
We need you as a mobilizer!
- Are you passionate about fighting for your rights at work?
- Are you good at talking to and listening to people, but also staying on-task?
- Are you comfortable using computers and other communication technologies?
Are you organized and able to work independently and in a team environment? Click here to apply to be one of the 14 member mobilizers and read more about how it will work.
