When you choose OPSEU as your representative at Ryerson, here’s what you can expect:
- All your working conditions, benefits and wages will remain the same until a first collective agreement is negotiated.
- A professional OPSEU staff representative will be assigned to work with your local.
- You will elect stewards, a local executive and a negotiating team from part-time support members and work-study students at Ryerson (people you know!). These elected members receive top-notch training and education.
- A new collective agreement will be negotiated between your local and Ryerson. Every member gets a chance to vote on that contract.
- No dues are paid until that first collective agreement is negotiated and accepted by the members. OPSEU dues are among the lowest of any union: 1.375 per cent of your pay. Union dues are tax deductible.
On March 8, make a choice for YOUR future.
