Today, delegates from the OPS Unified Bargaining Unit and the OPS Correctional Bargaining Unit have finished electing their bargaining teams for the upcoming 2021 round of bargaining. Both bargaining teams will negotiate their own standalone contracts for each bargaining unit.
Two weeks ago, on May 15, 2021, local delegates attended the OPS Regional Bargaining Conference, where the Regional Representatives to the Unified Bargaining Team and the Unified Emergency and Essential Services Bargaining Team were elected. Both bargaining units also elected regional delegates to attend the Central Bargaining Conference.
Today at the OPS Central Bargaining Conference, all of the category representatives were elected to both the Unified Bargaining Team and the Correctional Bargaining Team.
OPSEU/SEFPO congratulates everyone who was elected to the Unified and Correctional Bargaining Teams. And we commend every OPS member from both bargaining units who stood for election. It’s commitment like yours that gets great contracts for Corrections and Unified!
