We need to develop strategies to deal with Municipal Governments, network with other Sector 13 Locals and stay in contact with each other. We need to be heard at the BPS Conference and advocate with other Sector Locals to get support to champion issues and concerns that are particular to Municipal Government workers. We will need the support of our Union Sisters and Brothers in all Sectors when it comes time for us to take our employer to task and fight the fight that OPS Locals are faced with right now.
Locals are urged to maximize delegate entitlement to ensure the voice of Municipalities is represented and heard!

Be at the BPS Conference!
As Municipal employees, we will face tough bargaining over the next three years. Already, some of our employers have come to “the table” with draconian demands! They are not only talking wage freezes – which we all know equate to claw backs – but looking at language that violates our basic rights as Canadian citizens under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom and Human Rights legislation.
We need to come together as locals to support each other, and more importantly; to learn from each other. What demands are being tabled by both sides? What strategies have worked to beat down Employer demands? What settlements have been negotiated? What issues were most important to the Locals? What was the most effective way to mobilize members around negotiations and garner support for Negotiating Teams?
We must get involved with our Sector and attend our Conference this year. We need to develop strategies to deal with Municipal Governments, network with other Sector 13 Locals and stay in contact with each other. We need to be heard at the BPS Conference and advocate with other Sector Locals to get support to champion issues and concerns that are particular to Municipal Government workers. We will need the support of our Union Sisters and Brothers in all Sectors when it comes time for us to take our employer to task and fight the fight that OPS Locals are faced with right now.
