    - Organizing workers, not just mobilizing workers
    - Live up to OPSEUs commitment to social unionism
    - Me personally: work hard - engage through social events ]]>     2022-03-19 16:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/seanbotti/1ulymiatc7ef6wam/wish/2103084435     Why it is unlikely OPSEU will respond this way seanbotti https://padlet.com/seanbotti/1ulymiatc7ef6wam/wish/2103795582 1) Change in OPSEU leadership
