Today, March 6th, The Ontario Council of Education Workers (OCEW) ratified the two-year contract extension that was voted on at the last General Membership Meeting.
More information can be found on the press release linked below (image).
This is also a reminder that the Special General Membership Meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow has been canceled due to the passing of Smokey Thomas' mother. Our thoughts are with Smokey and his family at this time. We will let you know when the meeting is rescheduled.

SPECIAL GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING CANCELLED

Due to the passing of Smokey Thomas’ mother early this morning, we are cancelling the meeting in order to allow Smokey time to grieve and be with his family.
We will look to reschedule the meeting as soon as we can and will provide details once a date and time as been set.  

Thank you for your understanding,
Kelly Martin and Local 330 Executive

Thank you to everyone who made it out to our General Membership Meeting and Ratification Vote on Feb 13th.

Thankfully we were able to get through the agenda, including; approval of our 2017 Budget, elections for OPSEU's Annual Convention and the Broader Public Sector Conference delegates and alternates, local update and the Central Extension presentation and vote.

Today we received notice of the results of the Ratification vote for the Contract Extension. 93 % of the members in OPSEU'S 7 locals supported ratified the Contract Extension Agreement.
The OPSEU representatives will take our results to the OCEW meeting on Monday, March 6th and following the meeting we will receive a press release of the final results.
