OPSEU/SEFPO vs no union? It’s no comparison!

OPSEU/SEFPO

No union

Protection against dismissal or discipline

Employer can dismiss or discipline you almost at will

A “grievance procedure” to settle disputes (which could be ruled on by an independent judge called an “arbitrator”)

Employer has “the last say” in most disputes

Regular consultation between your elected union reps and the employer

No requirement for consultation

The workplace rights in an OPSEU/SEFPO contract are legally binding – your managers *must* follow the contract

You have few workplace rights – your managers can do almost anything they want when they want

Fair job competitions and promotions

Employer decides who gets transferred and/or promoted

OPSEU/SEFPO provides expert bargaining and workplace assistance

You are on your own
