December 2001 Article 5

OPSEU members elected their OPS bargaining teams in April 2001.

In this round, OPSEU has two bargaining teams. The Central Team is made up of one representative of each OPSEU region, plus one representative from each of the five bargaining Categories, plus one unclassified representative. The Central Team has 13 people.

The Corrections Team is made up of one corrections representative from each OPSEU region, for a total of seven people.

Central Team chair Marg Simmons (above left)  and Corrections Team chair Barry Scanlon (right) were elected by their respective teams.

The Central Team negotiates all Central issues (job security, pensions, etc.) plus all Category issues (wages, shift schedules, training, etc.) for each Category except Corrections. The Corrections Team negotiates all Corrections Category issues plus any Central table issues agreed to between the employer and the union.
