It wasn’t an easy decision. In fact, it was downright scary. But it’s a decision we’ve never regretted – we’ve now got a real voice in the workplace, and it has made our work so much better.

There are 12,000 other DS workers standing together in OPSEU/SEFPO. Here are a few of the many things we’ve accomplished by standing together:

• Established clear and solid rules about hiring, scheduling, and workplace safety — with a formal appeals process if we don’t think managers followed the rules
• Significantly reduced discrimination and harassment
• We’ve raised the bar on wages across the sector, and push for decent annual raises.
• We’ve pushed dozens of employers to abide by Pay Equity laws and pay out thousands in back pay
• Over the past 15 years, we helped push governments to invest an extra $1 billion to reduce DS wait times
