Staff at Sudbury YMCA join OPSEU

Membership means increased job security: Union

Thirty-six staff working in employment and newcomer services at YMCA of Sudbury, Ont., have chosen to become members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU).

"One of the many benefits they'll enjoy with OPSEU membership is increased job security – something they badly need right now so they can better plan for the future,” said OPSEU regional vice-president Jeff Arbus.

"But it's also good news for the Y and their clients. When working conditions are improved, staff retention is increased – and so is their experience and knowledge. The Y's reputation as a prominent community partner will be enhanced, while clients will benefit even more from the help they receive."

YMCA of Sudbury provides a wide range of programs and services in the greater Sudbury area, including responsive and accessible programs, services and supports. Funding for these programs comes from a number of provincial government ministries.
