OPSEU vs Wynne

This is kind of funny. Seeing OPSEU turn on their bought and paid for choice of puppets. I guess there must be contract talks starting again.

OPSEU ( Smokey Robinson) bailed on her before the election. While they endorsed Horwath and accurately predicted the other Unions were just shooting themselves in the foot ( and now that foot is in their mouths, shame those Unions and many members don't like the bitter taste and don't want to eat it...see just teachers moaning about "no money") they still campaigned on a "anyone but Hudak" platform and God forbid people who were richly rewarded prior 2010 and thus created the need for Dalton to utter the infamous "toe the line" in 2011, feel anything remotely resembling the kneecapping those in private are taking).

So give Smokey at least some credit. And don't forget, not all Public servants make what the means in Ontario ( but without security/benefits). Aka OPSEU is where many PS are just monkeys on the treadmill and peons like so many in private.

OPSEU has traditionally supported NDP as long as I can remember.
When I was younger and not interested in politics I had no interest or care in what was done with my union dues. Later on in life when my concerns shifted more from paying off a mortgage and truck loans to having a liveable pension I started to ask about some things. When I found out that the portion of my union dues that went to the NDP could be transferred to another party, I did just that.
I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of union workers across the country who are living the same circumstances I was faced with and I bet the unions aren't being too vocal about where their union dues are ending up.
