What happens next?

• Once you’ve signed your OPSEU/ SEFPO card, encourage your co-workers to do the same. The more quickly a large majority of you sign cards, the more quickly you’ll become members!
• Watch your personal email and texts for upcoming Zoom meetings and updates from OPSEU/SEFPO.
• Once a strong majority of you have signed cards, OPSEU/SEFPO makes an application to the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) to schedule a vote for you to vote yes to join OPSEU/ SEFPO.
• On March 7, 2022, OPSEU/SEFPO filed the application, starting the “freeze provision.” This means you’re protected — it is against the law for your employer to change any of your current employment terms while negotiations are underway.
• March 15 noon- March 17 noon the OLRB will hold a secret-ballot vote amongst you and your co-workers. When the majority of you vote to join OPSEU/SEFPO, you become members!
• With the help and guidance of OPSEU/ SEFPO staff you will vote on your bargaining team & you and all your
  co-workers will decide on your bargaining priorities – better wages, health and safety protections, and a legal voice to be heard and respected!
• You and OPSEU/SEFPO staff will bargain your first Collective Agreement!
