On behalf of the Executive Board, it’s my great pleasure to present OPSEU/SEFPO’s 2022 budget.

Our budget was prepared in the fall of 2021, in the midst of the COVID pandemic. It was debated and approved by the Executive Board in November. As we know from the last two years, things do not always play out as planned. As COVID restrictions continued into the first quarter of 2022, some events occurred virtually. But for the most part, this budget was prepared assuming a return to in person meetings.

It has been a long time since we have been able to meet and debate in person. I am thrilled that I will have the opportunity and the privilege to present this budget to the delegates at this year’s convention which will occur as a hybrid meeting for the first time ever.

Due to the restrictions over the last two years, OPSEU/SEFPO has seen significant savings. This, combined with our continued growth, has led to consecutive years of surpluses. As you are aware, we used these surpluses to give back to the membership as well as invest in our future.

Some of these initiatives include increasing the payments to the hardship committees, bolstering funding for local bookoffs, giving our locals additional quarterly rebate payments and additional funds for local communications. We also looked at investments that will reap future benefits for our membership, such as increasing the Debt Retirement Fund payments and setting aside funds for our unfunded liabilities. We have now fully funded our liabilities in the Education Fund and the Local funds held in trust.

As we have mentioned, OPSEU/SEFPO purchased 3 new properties in the last few years; 155 Lesmill Rd in Toronto, 363 York St in Sudbury and our new training and educational facility in Dorset. While the initial plan was to have these funds repaid over 15 years, with the support of the Executive Board, we have now fully paid for the purchase of these buildings. These buildings are all assets in our growing Strike Fund and have no debt associated with them!

Our consolidated budget surplus for 2022 is $4,098,076. This is based on total revenues of over $128 million for the year.

Our departmental expenses are budgeted to be just over $69 million for the year. Throughout this pandemic, our staff continued to work hard, supporting the over 180,000 members of this great union. This includes the cost of staffing, as well as operating our Regional Offices throughout the province.

Members’ expenses are budgeted at just over $44 million for the year. This includes

$11 million paid directly to the locals as quarterly rebates. In addition, there is over

$3.5 million set aside for time off for local presidents and other members to conduct the business of the Union. Members are the lifeblood of this Union and we must continue to supporting your needs.

We have also set aside over $3.6 million for bargaining. The HPD Central agreement expired March 31st and the CAAT-S full time members will go into bargaining, as their collective agreement expires August 31st. This is in addition to the hundreds of BPS locals that are in bargaining this year.

We are also heading into a provincial election this summer. This is always a busy time for OPSEU/SEFPO as we mobilize our members to get out and vote for a government that will support our front line workers that drive this province. The pandemic highlighted how vital our members work is. Our members, and public services, are the backbone of this province and we will not let that go unnoticed.

As restrictions continue to ease, our members will be out in full force, lobbying the government at Queens Park and at the constituency offices… both before and after the election. We have set aside a $4.5 million contingency fund that can be used for these activities and other campaigns and programs approved by the Executive Board.

Our capital expenditures this year will focus on renovating our buildings throughout the province. I have received a lot of positive feedback about the new training centre in Dorset. While we still have renovations that need to be done, I can’t wait to host events at this new facility in the future.

In all, I believe that we have once again presented an excellent budget. COVID has changed many things. But one thing it hasn’t changed is my commitment to ensure that every dollar spent is value added. And that every dues dollar always puts our members and our organization first.

Thank you for your continued work. Thank you for your commitment to our great Union. Stay safe and stay healthy.

In solidarity,

Eduardo (Eddy) Almeida

OPSEU First Vice-President/Treasurer

DUES REVENUE – 2022

While our dues rate has remained at 1.375% since 2001, dues revenue has

increased through continued membership growth and wage growth.

Despite the governments ongoing focus on expense management, OPSEU/SEFPO

members have negotiated wage increases that continue to be among the best in

the province.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, OPSEU/SEFPO has been successful in

protecting our members’ jobs and maintaining them on payroll. We have also

pushed for proper PPE and have been strong advocates for the health and safety of

our members.

These successes highlight the benefits of being part of a strong union are only a

few of the reasons members continue to choose OPSEU/SEFPO in organizing drives.

OPSEU/SEFPO continues to organize new members and our dues revenue is

reflective of that growth. In June 2020, OPSEU/SEFPO merged with the Educational

Resource Facilitators of Peel, adding approximately 3,700 full time and part time

members. This is one of our many successful organizing drives.

In addition to the ERFP merger, OPSEU/SEFPO organized an additional 1,139

members in 2020 and 1,003 members in 2021       Membership Growth 100,000 90,000 80,000 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 – BPS                                      OPS                                   CAAT-A                                CAAT-S 2019              2020              2021

The Union is continuously faced with changing and unforeseen challenges
throughout the year. The Contingency Fund expenditures are approved by the
Executive Board and/or Officers for various campaigns, programs and
projects that may be approved during the year.
By policy, the fund is set at 1% of the net General Fund revenue and is
reduced by the $200,000 contributed to the Defence Fund. For 2022,
the Contingency Fund was increased to $4,500,000 in order to provide
additional funds and allow OPSEU to respond to the changing political climate.
In 2021, the contingency fund budget was set at $5 million due to the uncertainty
around the pandemic and what campaign activities could be carried out. As you
can see, we were well below budget in 2021.
For 2022, we again set the contingency fund high, at $4.5 million, as we are
seeing a return to normal activities. With the provincial election coming up, we
need to be ready to take action and have the funds available to support our
members.     Contingen   5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 2019                   2020 Budget	cy Fund             Actua 2021             2022 budget l

General capital requirements are related to maintaining our existing operating
capabilities.
Renovations at the OPSEU/SEFPO head office continue into 2022. These
renovations are aimed at refreshing our building and improving accessibility.
In 2019, OPSEU/SEFPO purchased a building at 155 Lesmill Rd. This location is
now operational and can be used for membership meetings. Ongoing costs relate
to a building addition on the site.
In 2020, OPSEU/SEFPO purchased a building in Sudbury that will be the home of
the new Sudbury Regional Office and Membership Centre. This building requires
renovations in order to make it suitable for our purposes.
In 2021, OPSEU/SEFPO purchased land and buildings in Dorset to be used as a
training and education centre. The buildings on the site require renovations to
bring them up to current standards and address accessibility issues.
Most of the other buildings will require general upkeep and renovations.
The Executive board passed a motion that all OPSEU/SEFPO buildings implement
a policy on branding. This includes electronic signage that incorporates messaging
at all our locations.

The Strike Fund owns several OPSEU/SEFPO buildings and has no debt.
The Strike Fund includes cash and investments valued at over $43 million.
These investments are invested in a mixture of money market, fixed income
and equity investments, which are professionally managed.   Growth of Strike Fund $90   $80   $70   $60   $50
2014     2015     2016     2017     2018     2019      2020     2021   Following a large strike in 2017, the strike fund has been steadily building
and now has a net surplus of over $80 million for the first time ever!
This budget includes a $1 million transfer of investment income to the General
Fund. Similar transfers have been approved by Convention each year since 2011.
This transfer will only be made if OPSEU/SEFPO is in a deficit position.
OPSEU/SEFPO does not budget for the cost of any strikes. If strikes occur during
the year, this will impact the budgeted surplus.

There is no policy which determines how much of the dues revenue is
transferred to the Education Fund.
Per past practice, 75% of the Education Fund transfer is allocated to Regional
Educations. For 2022 this amount was increased slightly to keep it in line
with the 2021 budget. Regional Educations are organized by each region as
determined by their Executive Board members.
Any Regional Education funds that are unspent in a particular year are carried
forward to subsequent years. These amounts are in addition to the amounts
budgeted above.
Due to COVID restrictions, many planned regional educations could not occur in
2020 or 2021. This resulted in a large increase to the carry forward amounts
available. The carry forward amounts are as follows:
Region 1:   $                322,450
Region 2:                     537,135
Region 3:                     395,582
Region 4:                     582,008
Region 5:                     596,392
Region 6:                     427,703
Region 7:                      273,031
Total:                 $3,134,301
