Dear members:
Hope everyone is well and staying safe and healthy.
It’s bargaining time again as our collective agreement expires on March 31, 2022. Our Union has given Notice to Bargain to our employer and we are preparing to get into bargaining mode.
Due to the pandemic, we have had to embrace new ways to do business. OPSEU/SEFPO remains committed to protecting the health and safety of our members and staff as well as following social distance protocols and guidelines. As a result, meeting virtually has become a more unique way to bargain however, we remain positive that this will not have an impact on our upcoming negotiations rather we see it as a way to facilitate the engagement of all our members across the province.
All members of the respective unit (PHO and Districts) will be invited to attend the Unit Demand Set Meeting. This time around the bargaining survey will be released via survey monkey and the Demand Set Meeting will also be conducted virtually via Zoom; this will allow for better member participation, etc.
The survey must be completed no later than February, 24 5:00pm (no exceptions).

The link to the Demand Set Meeting will be provided closer to the meeting date to those who have registered.
If you do not received an e-mail with the link to the Demand Set Meeting; please let our negotiator M. Alvarado Fenn know at malvaradofenn@opseu.org.
All surveys must be completed no later than February, 24 5:00pm (no exceptions).
The Demand Set Meeting will take place on March 3rd – PHO; and March 17th – Districts at 7:00pm
During this meeting we will be going over the survey results, we will vote on our top 5 final priorities and elect our representatives to the bargaining table (up to 5 for each of the respective groups).
Once the team has been elected they will prepare for bargaining with the assistance of the OPSEU/SEFPO negotiator(s).
We thank you for your participation and work during these difficult times.
