FAQ

This campaign is about building a stronger and more powerful OPSEU/SEFPO – by organizing workplaces, training members for bargaining, protecting dues, and winning better contracts.

It’s not about personalities. It’s about power – and who holds it.

Because the last four years delivered real, measurable results:

  • Over 100,000 members mobilized to participate in bargaining
  • Thousands of new members organized to strengthen everyone’s leverage
  • Strategic strike action used to win better deals
  • Financial transparency restored and dues redirected to member servicing

Imagine what’s possible with three more years.

Yes. You don’t have to agree on everything to fight – and win – together.

This campaign is built on a simple principle:

OPSEU/SEFPO must be the union where every member – and every worker – belongs and has a voice. 

That means:

  • Unit-level conversations, not top-down messaging
  • A focus on bargaining readiness, not internal politics
  • Building organizing capacity that lasts beyond the vote

The goal isn’t just to win an election — it’s to leave the union stronger.

It means:

  • Training and mobilizing members before bargaining begins
  • Giving more members the skills and resources they need to move into leading positions 
  • Expanding member-led bargaining teams
  • Organizing new members to increase our collective power and leverage
  • Coordinating across sectors to take on employers and government

Power isn’t a slogan. It’s something you build.

You can:

  • Join a conversation or training
  • Volunteer in your local or bargaining unit 
  • Help organize undecided members
  • Share factual information and materials

This campaign is powered by members.
