OPSEU Reaches Out to Information Knowledge Workers
September 24, 2008
OPSEU is at TorontoTechWeek to present our union as the union of
choice for Information Knowledge Workers (IKW). The Information Knowledge sector is one of the fastest growing labour markets in Ontario, and its importance in the economy cannot be
overstated.
Non-unionized workers in this growing sector are excluded from
certain key provisions of the Employment Standards Act (ESA). Issues affecting
IKWs should be given a greater spotlight within the union, in collective
bargaining and in organizing new workers and bargaining units.
OPSEU currently represents thousands of workers in this sector.
They work in Information Technology and Information Management; they develop and
maintain computer software systems, work on databases and networks, query data
warehouses and analyse information.
