Info

Connect with OPSEU OPSEU is organized to bring people together – in their Locals, in their regions, and around common interests. We communicate best when we do it face to face. But it’s not always possible, so the telephone and the internet are powerful tools for getting the information you need quickly. The OPSEU Resource Centre is staffed Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern time. From the Greater Toronto area: 416-443-8888 From anywhere in Ontario: 1-800-268-7376 The OPSEU Resource Centre The OPSEU Resource Centre is a fast link for information on just about anything connected to the union. Located at the union’s Head Office in Toronto, it’s a direct phone connection to trained representatives who can answer questions on a wide range of labour topics and emergencies. Resource Centre staff know how to contact the person you need for expert help when necessary. They have access to databases and collective agreements and know how to find the answers. Who is your workplace steward They can tell you. What is happening to your grievance They will find out. What does the Employment Standards Act say about pay on statutory holidays Again, they’ll find the answer. OPSEU RESOURCE CENTRE 1-800-268-7376 20 THE OWNERS’ MANUAL www.joinopseu.org
The OPSEU website – www.opseu.org Whenever you need information, 24 hours a day and seven days a week, the OPSEU website is there. A computer and an internet connection give you access to more than 9,000 pages of information, more than 20,000 documents and photos and a database of grievance records. There are archives back to 1996, but at the same time, it is always up to date. There is information on current campaigns, OPSEU committees, health and safety, pensions and benefits, wage settlements, the Consumer Price Index, discounts available to OPSEU members, job opportunities and much more. You’ll find the OPSEU Constitution there, as well as recent publications, announcements of courses and conferences, news releases, contract settlements and so on. While it can’t tell you who your steward is, it is a huge resource, updated at least five days a week. In times of turmoil – such as a province-wide strike – web updates can be seven days a week and even round the clock. You can also subscribe to OPSEU This Week, an email summary of everything new on the site published on Fridays with links to new articles. www.joinopseu.org THE OWNERS’ MANUAL 21
