Bargaining Unit Integrity (BUI) Project
Protecting jobs, Building power


We face an important challenge in the OPS – one that affects our members’ job security, their career development options, and our power at the bargaining table. That challenge is the transfer of more and more of our jobs to the AMAPCEO bargaining unit. We have launched the "Protecting Jobs, Building Power" campaign to rigorously defend our bargaining unit.

 

We encourage members to keep an eye on vacant positions in their workplaces. We need to make sure that not only do postings get filled, but that they are filled as OPSEU positions.

OPS COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT - ARTICLE 1 – RECOGNITION
1.4 Where the Employer establishes a new classification or creates a new position, within an existing class, the Employer shall provide the Union with a copy of the class standard and/or position description, including bargaining unit status (if applicable), at the relevant MERC.

1.6 No position or person in the bargaining unit will be reclassified, nor will any other action be taken with respect to such position or person that is tantamount to reclassification, which reclassification or action tantamount to reclassification would have the effect of moving the position or the person from the OPSEU bargaining unit to another bargaining unit.
