-Barack Obama

CHOICE we can believe in

When it comes to life at work, BARACK OBAMA knows about the importance of CHOICE. In 2007, in addition to his statement above, he said:

“We need to strengthen unions by letting them do what they do best—organize workers. If a majority of workers want a union, they should get a union. It’s that simple.” *

CHOICE is about having a say on the issues affecting you at work. CHOICE is about whether you want to be recognized for the work you do. CHOICE is about whether you want to have the same rights and entitlements as other workers at Ryerson University.

Ryerson part-time workers and work-study students deserve the same rights and entitlements as their full-time colleagues. By voting YES for OPSEU on March 8, you will take the first step towards achieving those rights and entitlements. You will have a voice that will make the workplace even better, both for you and part-timers to come.

On Monday, March 8…
Vote YES for OPSEU.

(Don’t take our word for it: here’s what Barack Obama thinks about unions.)
