No bargaining…yet
Rumours are circulating that bargaining has already
started for the new OPS contract. Nothing could be further from the truth.
No contract talks have yet to take place with the
employer. Bargaining for the 2002 OPS collective agreement is scheduled to begin
in the early fall. The teams have received training, and are looking forward to
lively round of negotiations.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact your
regional team member. They are:
Region 1 - Mark Kotenan, Sarnia Jail
Region 2 - Barry Scanlon, Waterloo D.C.
Region 3 - Larry Cripps, Lindsay Jail
Region 4 - Jim Bothwell, Quinte D.C.
Region 5 - Dave Graves, Toronto Youth Assessment Centre
Region 6 - Rick Dagenais, Monteith Complex
Region 7 - Len Mason, Thunder Bay Jail
P&P button campaign kicks into gear
Fed up with stressful working conditions, inadequate pay
and high caseloads, probation and parole officers across the province are
picking up on the “Enough is Enough” campaign.
Requests for buttons are pouring in from offices across
the province. OPSEU currently has some in stock, but another order has been
placed in anticipation of the high demand.
If your local would like some “Enough is Enough”
buttons, please call or e-mail Don Ford at OPSEU Head Office. Include the
quantity and the address you would like the buttons sent to. To avoid
duplication of orders, please only have your local president or highest-ranking
local official submit the request.
Resolution Watch
The Resolution Warrior is taking no prisoners.
This week, eight more municipalities have joined those who
oppose the privatization of Ontario’s correctional system. They are: the
Township of Manitoulin (Manitoulin Island), the Township of Rideau Lakes (west
of Brockville), the Township of Adjula-Tosorontio (southwest of Barrie), the
Town of Perth, the Town of Cobalt (south of Haileybury), the United Counties of
Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (near Cornwall), the Municipality of Assiginack (Manitoulin
Island) and the Nation Municipality (east of Ottawa).
That brings the total number of current and former
municipalities who support public correctional services to 256. The countdown
towards 300 begins, and our thanks go to Len Mason of Local 737 (Thunder Bay
Jail).
For campaign information, call Don Ford (ext. 442) or
Pam Doig (ext. 687) at 1-800-268-7376 or (416) 443-8888.
