Central Bargaining Update: Bulletin # 9
OPSEU/SEFPO education workers turned out in full force for the October 24 rallies in Toronto, Ottawa, London, Sudbury, and Thunder Bay.
Tens of thousands of people joined us to say: “We are all together for publicly-funded education!”
We need your help to build on this momentum.
In order to demonstrate our strength and unity, we are conducting a membership-wide strike vote pledge.
Local 2100 Members
As the largest Local in OPSEU/SEFPO Sector 3, we have an opportunity and a responsibility to lead by example. Let’s stand united, make our voices heard, and show our strength through solidarity and action. Let’s set the standard by becoming the first Local to have every member sign the strike pledge!
With over 1000 strike pledges already signed, I encourage each of you to join me in signing the pledge and showing your full support for our Central Bargaining Team. Together, we can demonstrate the strength of our membership, the power of our unity, and our commitment to achieving the best possible outcome at the bargaining table.

- Sign your pledge
- Then share it with three of your co-workers
Collective action is the most powerful tool we have to get solutions to our core issues such as understaffing, workloads, and violence.
We are aiming to achieve a large majority to send a strong message and move us forward in the bargaining process.
Note: Some of our fellow education worker unions have completed this step already and are moving on to formal strike votes in November. Each union has their own internal processes and timelines that they need to respect. Nevertheless, we remain united and continue to collectively coordinate our bargaining efforts.
