TO: OPSEU LOCAL 329 MEMBERS
RE: TENTATIVE COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT
Please be advised that the tentative agreement that has been posted on this site has been withdrawn.
It is your bargaining team’s position that all classifications receive the 2.75% increase in 2013 except for the RPN Lead position which was to receive a bonus of $1,700 in lieu. It is the employer’s position that the red circling remain in place for those classifications that were listed in the previous agreement.
To this end, the meeting scheduled for February 23 2012 will be cancelled as there will be no vote at this time.
The meeting scheduled on February 22 2012 at 7:30 pm will be held due to the fact that there is still other business we need to conduct and there will be a question and answer period as well.
Please continue to review our local website for further information.
In Solidarity

Professional Liability Insurance for OPSEU Members of a Regulated Health Profession
In December 2009, Bill 179 received Royal Assent making it law for all members of a Regulated Health Profession to carry Professional Liability Insurance (PLI). This law will be fully implemented by 2012.
The OPSEU Hospital Professional Division Executive has, in consultation with CG&B Insurance Group, arranged for members of Regulated Health Professions to get PLI at a discounted rate. For $40 per year, you can receive PLI that meets all the requirements of Bill 179.
This insurance is not only applicable to members of the Hospital Professionals Division, but for every OPSEU member who is also a member of a Regulated Health Profession.
Please see the attached form to find out more about this insurance offer. Click here to view pdf

Brothers and Sisters:
RE: BARGAINING
Members have been asking where we are at with bargaining.
As you may or may not be aware, once we start bargaining with the employer, we are under a black-out regarding information.
I can tell you that we have met with the employer and are waiting for confirmation of further dates in 2012.
I know it’s not much information but be assured we are at the table and will continue our efforts to get the best contract possible for the membership.
In Solidarity
