Face-to-Face brings home the impact of cuts to the public service

Face-to-Face is a new 16-page booklet  takes us to the front-lines of the, often unacknowledged, work of OPSEU members in the Ontario public service. It contains a sampling from more than 5,000 comments made by members and collected by OPSEU in the fall of 2004.

The work of OPSEU members is the underpinning for a vibrant province. They help administer justice, protect the public safety, keep Ontarians healthy, assist the province’s most vulnerable people, protect taxpayers’ money, strengthen the economy, promote our heritage, culture and citizenship, look after our natural environment, make government work for people, help students learn and more.

Dalton McGuinty promised to change the stale policies of the Harris/Eves era. He promised not only to rebuild public services, but to provide better services.  Instead, OPSEU members are facing a further 6,000 cuts to the Ontario public service. Face-to-Face not only brings home the reality of past cuts, but is a warning of things to come should the McGuinty government continue to erode the public service.
