About

YOU ARE THE UNION

OPSEU Local 125 is the Faculty Union at Lambton College, representing full time and partial load faculty, counsellors, and librarians.  We have a roster of stewards who are available in the workplace to answer your questions or refer you to one of the officers for additional help. Our local is part of the CAAT-A division of OPSEU (Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology – Academic). The CAAT-S group represents support staff at Ontario colleges.

Your union negotiates a collective agreement on your behalf, and assists you in resolving issues you may have in the workplace. These include workload, health and safety, equity, and benefits.
