We are looking for members whose area of work is not yet represented on our executive committee. Why not consider representing your field of expertise by running for a position at the BPS conference starting on June 16, 2011?
Our membership consists of Member Locals and Member Units, which are composed of members of our Union who are employed in community-based health care in the Province of Ontario.
Welcome…Welcome!!!
We would like to say welcome to our NEW PARAMEDICAL MEMBERS of our Sector.

Employees of the unit working in Owen Sound, Meaford, Wiarton, Kincardine, Port Elgin, Southampton and Thornbury, OPSEU was chosen to be their Union in a vote held on March 24, 2011.

We also want to say thank you to our ORGANIZING DEPARTMENT who are always on the look out to empower workers in our province!
