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,
