A F F A I R S O N IO N Bowker Elected District Director SEIÜ feels OPEO Impact Less than one year after affiliating with the Service Employees Inter national Union, OPEU had a major impact at the annual convention of the international union's Pacific Northwest Council. With more than three times the size of the second largest union in the council, OPEU's presence had much more impact than simply being the new kid on the block. OPEU delegates had a major say in the decision-making process and before the convention was over, delegates elected OPEU vice-president John Clapp as the council's second vice- president. In addition, OPEU’s 20-member delegation made major presentations at workshops on organizing, sexual harassment, political action and arbitration, OPEU Board’s Major Motions The following major motions were made at the regular meeting of the OPEU board of directors on Nov. 7, 1981: Installations Pete Petry, president.
