Change at the top ..

of OPSEU ...

And some still think they are saving Rideau Regional ! Umm ... I don't know where they have been.. but it's just about a done deal ... Go take a look around out there.

This region suffered a great deal” under Casselman, Smith said.

Lundy works at the Rideau Regional Centre in Smiths Falls, which is scheduled to close. He said the concerns of workers at the centre were virtually unheard by Casselman.

With Thomas in charge, Lundy said he expects the union to fight the closure.


Here's a hint ... pressure the government to find another use for the facility ... that might save some jobs. Focusing your energy on something that's done is .. well.. a waste of said energy.

No surprise here ... the union hates the Tories:

Formalizing ties with the NDP would have been “a step forward,” Rapaport believes.

“The parties aren’t all the same,” he said. “Their roots, their orientations … ideologically, I think we’re a lot closer to the NDP.”

We absolutely oppose the Tories. We know where they took us,” Ryan said.

“I would put it to Smokey that he would find out very quickly where the Tories [will go] because there was no union that suffered more [during the Harris regime] than OPSEU.”


Ummm.... it looks to me like the OPSEU members suffering most are those souls who are about to lose their jobs at RRC ... aren't the Libs in power ???
