Many Worth Fighting For (WFF) locals are currently on strike or have been locked out. All locals on the picket line right now.
We urge you to support these workers!
Financial support
Direct Bank Transfer
OPSEU/SEFPO accepts electronic bank transfers! You can e-mail a donation for striking and locked out workers to [email protected].
Please note your Local Number and the Local that you’re donating to (if not a central donation) in the e-transfer message, as in: “Local ____: Donation to striking and locked out community services workers at Local ____.”
Please note – It is important to include a description/ detailed note in the memo/message section indicating the purpose of the transfer and the receiving local (if not for central donation) so it can be accurately tracked.
Cheque Donations
Make cheques payable to OPSEU/SEFPO and send to:
Supervisor of Accounting and Payroll Services
Finance and Operations Division
100 Lesmill Road
Toronto, ON M3B 3P8
Please note – It is important to include a description/ detailed note in the memo/message section indicating the purpose of the transfer and the receiving local (if not for central donation) so it can be accurately tracked.
Local Rebate Donations
OPSEU/SEFPO locals can make a donation to any OPSEU/SEFPO local/unit that is on strike or locked out by using their rebates.
- Local Trustee Audited Reports (TARS) must be up to date
- Two LEC officers (e.g. Local President, Treasurer, Secretary-Treasurer, Vice-President, or Chief/Lead Steward) must authorize that the funds are to be deducted from the Local’s quarterly rebate.
- You can fill out the rebate form here.
Donate your local’s leftover hardship funds
If your unit has been on strike and reached a settlement, you can donate any leftover hardship funds to another unit that is still on strike by passing a motion at an LEC meeting or GMM.
