Hello Everyone,

Our Local OPSEU 365 is holding an election for the position of Chief Steward from two (2) nominees from within our Steward body. 

The 2 nominees are Karen Mauro and Rose Dunford—both long standing Trent employees, both with excellent Union experience!  Information on each candidate was emailed to Members--if you did not receive the email, let us know via opseu@trentu.ca or call extension 7557.

The Chief Steward is an important position within our Union Executive—they are a strong advocate for our Union, they coordinate the grievance process for the Local, assist our stewards with grievances they are handling, and are a source of knowledge and training for our steward body.   

All OPSEU 365 members are eligible to vote—contract, part-time & full-time. 

 To vote, bring a piece of photo ID (for example your campus photo ID card)

Election dates will take place as listed below:

Thank you,

Your OPSEU Local 365 Executive,
