OPSEU/SEFPO at a Glance: Through the Eyes of the Provincial Young Workers Committee
The history of OPSEU/SEFPO is rich and varied. This labour history course will examine how OPSEU/SEFPO began; how it evolved from a staff association to a full-fledged union; how social unionism and equity are a vital part of OPSEU/SEFPO; and how our past will help us to continue to make OPSEU/SEFPO a strong part of the labour movement in the future.
Stewards 2: Facing the Employer, Building Member Involvement
Prerequisite: Stewards 1This follow-up to Stewards 1 focuses on investigating and writing a grievance, facing management, and involving members in worksite action.Participants will use their own Collective Agreements to identify grievances. They will become immersed in an evolving case study where they interview a grievor, write up a grievance, face the employer at a Step 1, and make a presentation on safety issues to the union side of the Joint Health and Safety Committee. They will examine the elements of effective mobilization and develop a campaign strategy for a local. Participants should bring their Collective Agreements.
