PUBLIC SERVICES & THE AUSTERITY AGENDA

The gloves are off in the Liberals attack on quality public services in Ontario and the tens of thousands of OPSEU members who deliver them.
The Liberals have cut, privatized and contracted out. Theyve eliminated thousands of good public sector jobs. They suspended free collective bargaining in our schools. And theyve forced wage freezes and other concessions on tens of thousands of OPSEU members and other public sector workers. It started with Dalton McGuinty. Its likely to continue under Kathleen Wynne unless we mobilize now. And Tim Hudaks Conservatives cant wait to pick up where the Liberals leave off, with plans for right to work legislation and the elimination of public sector pensions. This austerity agenda is the biggest threat that OPSEU members and Ontarios entire labour movement have faced in a generation. Yet despite what we hear from governments, corporations and the media, austerity can be beaten.

Definitively rejects austerity, wage freezes and concessions Exposes the myth that attacking public sector workers and our unions will do
anything to help save quality public services services, good jobs and workers rights

Works with the entire labour movement to build solidarity and defend public Respects the integrity of the bargaining process including members right to
set their demands, the autonomy of our elected bargaining teams and members right to vote to ratify or to strike, if necessary.

WORKING TOGETHER
This is why Myles is running for OPSEUs Executive Board. As your Region 5 Executive Board Member, Myles is committed to:

CHALLENGING AUSTERITY, ORGANIZING TO WIN

Together, we can respond more effectively to these attacks. But to do so, OPSEU and our provincial leadership needs to do better.
We like to say we are a member-driven union. If were going to take on the austerity agenda, we need to make that idea central to everything we do. Its time to go beyond business as usual unionism. Together, we need to:

Calling on OPSEUs central leadership to take a clear, unequivocal stand

against the austerity agenda

Ensuring OPSEU campaigns engage and mobilize members and build our
capacity to organize on an ongoing basis political action strategy for OPSEU

Engaging local and regional leaders in developing an independent, progressive Working with the Board to ensure transparent and accountable use of the
unions funds and resources in the best interests of our membership

Find new ways to engage and empower our members to take on key issues that
matter to them, before, during and after bargaining

Working to make OPSEU educationals more accessible and flexible, ensuring

they focus on practical skills, reflect concrete workplace issues and build local capacity equity issues in our union, our workplaces and our communities

Provide local leaders and activists with the training, tools and resources we
need to organize and campaign in our workplaces and our communities

Supporting our committees, caucuses and activists to organize and address Building a stronger activist network in Region 5, working with our other EBMs
and the Greater Toronto Area Council to reach out to every local in the region

Mobilize support for our elected teams to generate the bargaining power we need
to challenge concessions, win strong contracts and defend quality public services.

LEADERSHIP, NOT CONCESSIONS

Local, sector and divisional leaders cant turn our union around all on our own. Thats where our elections for OPSEUs Executive Board come in.
Now more than ever, we need strong provincial leadership that:

Building labour solidarity, strengthening our links with the Toronto and York

Region Labour Council, and working to return OPSEU to full participation in the Ontario Federation of Labour Executive Board.

Making sure that Region 5 has effective leadership and a strong voice on the
