Building Our Power

JP is building the OPSEU/SEFPO we need to take power back from employers and government – and put it where it belongs: with workers.

The Next Three Years

JP’s forward-looking agenda focuses on strengthening union power across all workplaces:

Bargaining Readiness for Every Unit

  • Sector‑wide coordination where possible
  • Every unit trained before bargaining begins
  • Expanded member‑led bargaining teams

Cross‑Sector & Cross‑Union Power

  • Formalized collaboration across OPSEU/SEFPO sectors
  • Stronger alliances with other unions
  • Coordinated pressure on employers and government

OPSEU/SEFPO Organizing School

  • Permanent organizing school
  • Family camp model to bring whole households into union life
  • Training in workplace action, bargaining, and leadership

Member & Community Infrastructure

  • Repurpose existing training centres & properties
  • Create community spaces for workers
  • Long‑term sustainability plan rooted in member needs

With three more years, JP aims to train more members, expand organizing, and deliver stronger contracts, building a union that can win in the long term.
