Rally on January 23rd in Toronto: Keep Hybrid work in the OPS

Since the Ford government’s sudden and arbitrary decision to impose the Return to Office mandate in the Ontario Public Service, we’ve heard from thousands of OPS Unified members about the negative impacts this will have.

That’s why, on Friday, January 23rd, we’re taking our fight against the Return to Office mandate to the next level and we need the help of OPS Unified Members like you to pull it off!

We are organizing mass turnout at a rally on Friday, January 23rd 2026 as our CERC team challenges the Return-to-Office (RTO) mandate head on in mediation at the Ontario Labour Relations Board, arguing that Ford’s heavy-handed decision making during our bargaining process is a violation of the Ontario Labour Relations Act.

We need every voice, every hand, every leader to step up and come together to send a clear and resounding message to our employer – OPS UNIFIED MEMBERS WANT TO KEEP HYBRID WORK IN THE OPS!

Date: Friday, January 23rd, 2026

Time: 8:30am-10am

Location: 505 University Ave, Toronto ON

RSVP now to let us know you’ll be there.
