What Amapceo does

AMAPCEO is a professional employee union established in 1992 that represents more than 17,000 professional employees working across the Ontario Public Service (OPS) and a growing roster of provincial agencies, boards, and regulators. Members include policy analysts, epidemiologists, economists, communicators, and other specialists distributed across more than 100 Ontario communities and 11 cities outside Canada. The union negotiates collective agreements covering compensation, alternative work arrangements, leave provisions, and dispute resolution, and is led by President and CEO Dave Bulmer from its Toronto headquarters at 1 Dundas Street West.

The organisation's core offering is collective bargaining and workplace representation, delivered through a distributed network of trained Workplace Representatives stationed across every OPS ministry and agency. Member-facing digital infrastructure includes RADAR, a secure web-based dispute tracking system that allows members and representatives to document cases and monitor progress outside employer email channels, and an online Alternative Work Arrangement (AWA) request tool that automates draft-agreement generation for compressed work weeks and remote work requests. The 2025-2028 Collective Agreement locks in across-the-board increases of 2.75% (2025), 2.25% (2026), and 2% (2027), with negotiated benefits such as 93% salary top-up during pregnancy/parental leave and a 130-day Short-Term Sickness Plan.

AMAPCEO operates as a non-profit membership organisation funded through dues deducted from member salaries via collective bargaining agreements, with retiree membership available for a one-time $25 fee. Activism is a defining marketing and operational channel: the Remote Work WORKS! campaign mobilises members through petitions (10,000+ signatures), virtual town halls, rallies including the September 18, 2025 All Out for Remote Work rally at Queen's Park, and a June 2026 "Filing Your Remote Work Dispute" workshop series. The union has also built a formal coalition with ALOC, OCAA, OPSEU, and PEGO to coordinate on remote work policy.

• Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario: CUPE is one of Canada's largest public sector unions, representing a broad range of public service workers across Ontario municipalities, school boards, and healthcare. Less specialized than AMAPCEO but overlapping in employer footprint.
• Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU): OPEIU represents office and professional employees across the U.S. and Canada, with a similar professional-employee mandate but broader industry scope and different jurisdictional boundaries than AMAPCEO.
