OPSEU 330

The Employment Insurance Guidelines for 10 month employees for the 2016-2017 school year are now available. If you need more information, or have further questions please contact a steward, or the office (opseu330@bellnet.ca, 705-739-7232),

Unfortunately due to the lack of response, we have had to cancel the Social Committees bus trip to the Matilda performance in Toronto. We are hoping it's due to the time of year and not the lack of interest, and look forward to planning another "social" event in the spring.

Thank you to those members that have already signed up and our apologies for having to cancel. I will be in contact with you in the next couple of days in regards to shredding or returning your payment.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact our local office at 705-739-7232 or email me at opseu330@bellnet.ca

Regards,
Kelly

Good Evening OPSEU Members:               

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that gave up their evening last night to attend the General Membership Meeting. Several Local updates were shared throughout the meeting and a summary of highlights from the meeting will be forthcoming, for those who were unable to attend.

Our membership voted for and elected our Local Executive for 2017-2018, Local Bargaining team, and Regional Meeting delegates/alternates.

Congratulations and Welcome to your new Local 330 Executive, effective Jan 1, 2017.

A special thanks to our staff rep Alex, and Region 3 Executive Board Member Sara Labelle for conducting the elections.
In Solidarity,
Kelly Martin
