Area Coordinating Group (ACGs)
ACGs are a key part of the bargaining process. They are a direct line of communication between OPS Unified members and the Bargaining Team. As we continue to build our bargaining power, our unity is our strength. All OPS Unified members are encouraged to join.
In November 2022, the OPS Unified Collective Bargaining Negotiations Procedures were revised and then approved by the OPSEU/SEFPO Executive Board in July 2023. The updated Procedures Manual can be found in your member portal, and a link is also available under “Important Links.” The OPS Unified Bargaining Procedures are laid out in the Procedures Manual under Article 3.2, subsection 6B.
Section 2 discusses “Roles and Structures.” In addition to the Bargaining Team, section 2.8 highlights the creation and usage of “Area Coordinating Groups” (ACGs).
In Solidarity,
On behalf of the OPS Unified Bargaining team:
Amanda Usher — Chair
Leslie Aiston — Vice Chair
