Testimonials
I hope you all are taking the rightfully deserved rest and time off.
You all worked thru the wee hours into the morning ,while many of us (the membership) slept soundly thru the nights comforted by the thought we have the best team on the bargainig table and behind the scenes. You each deserve an immence wealth of gratitude. You kept your word and worked superceedingly hard and got us to a point of strike avertion. One for the history books indeed given the trends we have seen across other bargaining tables. Your strategies were amazing and your commitment was parallel to none. I personally feel blesssed to be a member.
Myself and my family thank all of you and your families.We owe all of you and your families a debt of gratitude
OCEU member
Kudos to all of you for your relentless efforts and dedication to get us this deal. I think those that focus on the wage increase are not seeing the big picture. Have a great night and thank you again.
OCEU member
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your members. I am amazed at all the additional benefits you have been able to negotiate us for, especially the emergency travel and life insurance.
OCEU member
A MASSIVE thank you to the Union for all your relentless work. I am SO VERY thankful to those that are out there striking everyday. I am currently on LTD and do not have the capacity to engage at this time. I have been reading all Union updates and the WhatsApp chat that my strike captain started. I am also so very thankful to the Union for doing everything to continue the health care benefits while we are on strike. I do not know what I would have done without my health benefits while I'm experiencing significant health challenges. With immense gratitude and appreciation

Just a short note to thank you for all your efforts so far.
I read the media release and I think it is very well done and very appropriate.
OCEU member
Hi folks. Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work. I hope you get a strong yes vote, you got mine, to help remove all concessions and get an increase to our wages and benefits.
Also want to say that Retirement benefits would be great but is not something that I want to strike for, I’m on board for everything else I just hope that we do not walk just for those retirement benefits.
