Ontario Public Service (OPS) Unified
OPSEU/SEFPO members who work for the ministries and agencies of the Ontario Public Service (OPS) provide the services that Ontarians depend on every day to keep our communities safe and improve our quality of life.
We are the backbone of every public service the province of Ontario provides: education, health care, social services, public safety, transportation and infrastructure, labour standards, food and water safety, consumer rights, protection of the environment and natural resources, and human rights and accessibility, to name just a few.
The Unified Division of the OPS includes most of the OPSEU/SEFPO members who work for the Ontario Public Service, with the exception of the Corrections Division.
Each government ministry and agency has a MERC committee of OPSEU/SEFPO members who raise issues and ideas for their own ministry.
Each MERC keeps minutes of its meetings with the employer.
