Over the last couple of weeks, especially since I have been off on vacation, there have been a number of different things said about who the president is, or if you even have one.
Initially I told many of you that it may come to pass that I may be removed as your President. I told you all this so there would be no surprises if this were to happen. So, I will be clear, as far as OPSEU goes I am still the President of this local. Also, as far as the members go, I am still the president, by virtue of being elected. I have not been removed from that position despite the employers view to the contrary.
The employer was informed early on that union representation will remain intact, with regard to stewards. Until I am informed by OPSEU that I am no longer the President of this local I will continue to act in that capacity regardless of what the employer thinks.
On a side note, I find it very ironic that our employer is using OPSEUS constitution to deny the members there right to be represented by their own President. In a way this actually puts the company and the union on the same side They are making a show of trying to abide by OPSEUS constitution.… how strange is that !!
