We hope that each of our members will take some time to visit the new and improved OSBCU website.  A great deal of work has gone into updating this resource and it is a great place to find information on the issues that are affecting us each and every day!

The Communications Liaison at each work site has received a QR code for members to use to complete the OSBCU Bargaining Survey.  Please complete the survey as soon as possible.

If you don’t know who your Communications Liaison is at your building please email communications@cupe5100.ca with your name, personal email address and work site.

Nine of your Executive members are in Ottawa for the 2025 OSBCU Convention – Destination 2026!  We look forward to learning and planning for the hard battles to come.
