OSBCU – CSCSO
Never doubt the power of using your voice…. It may not come to pass but the fact that they are hesitating speaks volumes. Keep going l! Keep calling your trustees and MPPs
OSBCU
There are many who are calling on the union to do something. The union is all of its members. So we want to open it up here. What is it that you would like to see done
A couple of caveats
– taking the government to court is not going to see a quick remedy. We are still waiting for our day in court over Bill 124
– work refusals are absolutely an option. They must be done by members and cannot be directed by the union either locally or provincially- plus side legally employer is not allowed to discipline you for a work refusal and there is no loss of pay
– walk out – would be deemed as an illegal strike – members would not be paid and would face possible discipline
That being said let’s have a conversation- what do you want to see, how will it be accomplished and what are you willing to do. The OSBCU has always prided ourselves in our transparency and member engagement- let us know
News from OSBCU
We are hearing from many local leaders that they have been informed by employers that non-fitter N95 masks will be provided in January!
We have reached out to the Ministry for more details but this is great news.
1) all of our collective efforts advocating for safer working conditions are working
2) it appears that the Ministry acknowledges that this virus is airborne!
Let’s continue the pressure! We need rapid testing for all, paid sick days for all and more

Good afternoon,
As we end National Indigenous Peoples month, we are hearing of yet another 182 bodies being recovered at the site of a residential school in Cranbrook BC.
The OSBCU Executive board has passed a motion to join with the CUPE Ontario Executive Board in support of the statement by the Indigenous Council which I have included links below.
Please share with your members and encourage folks to pause to mourn, reflect and recommit through participation in the numerous actions shared in the statement.
Together, we can build a better future for all
