OPSEU has always been a union with a deep commitment to quality public services and fair treatment for all working people. Our campaigns are an expression of that commitment, whether we’re fighting for clean water, safe correctional services, accessible education, progressive labour laws, or high-quality public health care services. Fighting privatization is an important part of our work, as is our battle for adequate funding, sufficient staffing, and decent wages and working for all who provide public services. We campaign because we care!
