As we approach this year's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (September 30), OPSEU/SEFPO is calling out the Carney and Ford governments for rolling back their commitments to genuine reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
With direction from the OPSEU/SEFPO Indigenous Circle, our union will continue to demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation by pushing for full implementation of the 94 calls to action that emerged from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

How can you have an Ontario Science Centre with no Science Unit?
Staff were informed today that 18% of jobs would be cut due to “organizational changes” including the elimination of the standalone Science Unit.
Doug Ford promised that no one working at the Ontario Science Centre would be left jobless following its sudden closure.
Ford needs to step in to fix this now.

Speaking now at the #LabourDay press conference is @JPHornick, president of @OPSEU - “a strong labour movement is the only hope for a a better future”
This Labour Day, we are saying loud and clear: a strong labour movement is our only hope for a better future.
Solidarity in action is needed now more than ever. Governments and employers want us divided, because we are weaker when we are fighting one another.
We will show our strength and build a movement with the determination and resolve to fight for a future where all workers, families, and communities can thrive.
This Labour Day, we commit to that future and the fights that will get us there: opseu.org/labour-day-2026/

Solidarity across Ontario’s education and public sectors is front and centre at #ULA2026 this morning.
Leaders from #OSSTF, @AEFO_ON_CA, @ETFOeducators, @OECTAProv, @osbcucscso, @OPSEU and @HDEAA1 are together for a panel about the challenges facing publicly funded education, the issues their members are fighting for, and the collective power we build when workers stand together.
Different unions, different roles, one shared commitment to strong public services and a better future for students and workers.
Over 250,000 education workers are uniting together to protect publicly funded education in Ontario.
OPSEU/SEFPO President JP Hornick and education union leaders are at the OSSTF (@osstf) Union Leadership Academy today to speak to the power of solidarity and collective action!
Happy International Youth Day!

CUPE Ontario members were proud to stand in solidarity alongside countless other labour organizations with OPSEU/SEFPO social service workers in support of their Worth Fighting For campaign. ✊🏾
After years of wage suppression under Bill 124 and chronic underfunding by the Ford government, social service workers are standing up for the respect, wages, and resources they deserve.
When workers in one sector fight back, we all have a stake in the outcome.
OPSEU/SEFPO stands in solidarity with flight attendants @WestJet who are on strike for a fair deal. These @cupenat members are taking a brave stand over unpaid work and low wages. Wage theft is never ok.
