Your union for changing times
The
Ontario Public Service Employees Union is one of
Canada's most democratic and dynamic unions. With
approximately 120,000 full- and part-time members,
nearly 500 locals, and 20 offices across Ontario,
we're the third largest union in the province. This
means we can bargain from a position of real power.
We stand
up for the rights of our members, both on the job
and in our communities. We are dedicated to high
standards of public service and good laws that
support working people.
OPSEU's structure
OPSEU
divides the province into seven regions for the
purpose of its own local structure. The first digit
of the local number tells what region it is in.
Local 123 is in Region 1, Local 234 in Region 2 and
so on. Each region elects three members to the
union's executive board; one of whom is elected as
the regional vice-president. The president and first
vice-president/treasurer of the union are elected
from among the board by the annual convention. They
serve two-year terms in these full-time positions.
The
seven regional vice-presidents, plus the president
and first vice-president/ treasurer, form the
Executive Committee.
Regional offices are located in Brockville,
Dryden, Guelph, Hamilton, Kingston, London, Niagara,
North Bay, Orillia, Ottawa, Owen Sound,
Peterborough, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Thunder
Bay, Timmins, Toronto Queen's Park, Toronto
Downsview, Whitby, and Windsor.
