STRIKE ISSUE Issue #51 May 2, 2002 Teams reach a tentative agreement Early this morning, your Central Team reached a tentative agreement with the Ontario government. Recognizing that we have all been on strike for almost eight weeks, your Central Team is asking you to vote on this employer offer. The employer made it clear to us at 0100 hours on May 2, 2002 that this was a “take it, or leave it” offer. This offer has great gains for unclassified members, maintains the integrity of our pension surplus and has some benefit improvements. However, it falls short of the improvements we had all hoped for. Over the course of today, details of the offer will be available on the OPSEU web site. This was a difficult decision by your bargaining team, but we knew that the choice had to be yours. Thank you for your support and determination. It has given us the strength necessary to come this far.
