OPS Unified members of OPSEU/SEFPO are represented at the government-wide level by the Central Employee Relations Committee (CERC). Meet your CERC team and find the CERC Minutes here
The CERC is our main point of contact with the employer between bargaining rounds. It has three main subcommittees:
- Joint Employment Stability Sub-committee (JESS)
- Joint Insurance Benefit Review Committee (JIBRC)
- OPS Pay Equity Committee
Updates – Return to Office and Alternative Work Arrangements
Each government ministry and agency has a MERC committee of OPSEU/SEFPO members who raise issues and ideas for their own ministry. Find your ministry’s MERC team!
Each MERC keeps minutes of its meetings with the employer.
