The 2017 OPS Regional Bargaining Conferences will be held on Saturday May 27, 2017.
As a result of recent amendments to the Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act (CECBA), OPSEU bargaining teams will negotiate two separate, stand-alone collective agreements in this round – one for the Unified bargaining unit and one for the Correctional bargaining unit. Therefore, there will be two separate Regional Bargaining Conferences taking place at the same time — one for Unified and one for Corrections.
Representatives elected at the Regional Bargaining Conferences will be entitled to partcipate in the Central Bargaining Conference on Saturday June 10, 2017.
The 2017 OPS Regional Bargaining Conference registration and related forms can be downloaded below. Please ensure you click on the appropriate forms which are arranged by bargaining unit and region. These are fillable pdf forms once they have been saved onto your computer. All forms must be submitted by April 25, 2017.
Members are responsible for booking their own hotel rooms by the April 25, 2017 deadline. Completed documents should be returned by email or fax to the appropriate Regional Office.
The number of delegates to be elected for each category in your local, based on convention formula for each category, will be sent by email to local presidents.
