The primary job of mobilizing is to build member support
for the bargaining teams. A strong communications bond between
the bargaining teams and the members is critical to successful
negotiations.
Bargaining power comes from three key sources: direct persuasion
employer (including government MPP's); member support for
the bargaining team and shaping public opinion in our favour.

We are striving to mobilize the workplace by:
- Dear Dalton postcard campaign: our goal is to get 40,0000
cards signed and mailed. Along with getting the message
to Mr. McGuinty, this initiative will help us plan, motivate,
educate and communicate to members about political action;
- building union visibility (ie. local information meetings,
Region 4 Website, other regular updates, lunch'n'learns,
posting union publications)
- "Supporting your Team" events (ie. wearing buttons,
stickers, black shirt Tuesdays, taking our coffee breaks)
We are taking political action now by:
- Lobbying key MPP's face-to-face to bring our message on
OPSEU bargaining.
- Encouraging locals to fax, write and e-mail the target
MPP's.
- Remember that politicians measure the intensity of local
concerns by the volume of calls, letters, e-mails etc...
