President’s Report
New assignment Local 5119
Moved by Thomas/Strachan
Whereas on July 22, 2020, OPSEU/SEFPO became the certified bargaining agent for 90 LifeLabs couriers; and
Whereas these members work throughout the Greater Toronto Area, and have headquarters in Region 5; and
Whereas according to OPSEU/SEFPO policy, a local must have at least 100 members;
Whereas 75 more workers from LifeLabs are awaiting a decision from the OLRB on whether OPSEU/SEFPO will become their certified bargaining agent; and
Whereas OPSEU/SEFPO expects a positive outcome from the OLRB for these 75 workers;
Therefore be it resolved that the OPSEU/SEFPO Executive Committee recommend to the OPSEU/SEFPO Executive Board that the 90 couriers from LifeLabs with headquarters in
Region 5 be assigned to Local 5119; and
Be it further resolved that upon receipt of a positive decision from the OLRB, the additional 75 members will also be assigned to Local 5119; and
