About Us

A United Voice

Local 475 of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) proudly represents over 840 members. Local 475 is a multisite local representing Medical Laboratory Professionals throughout the Eastern Ontario region.

Medical laboratory professionals perform vital work in 16 hospitals within the Champlain Local Integrated Health Network (LHINs). 

On April 1, 2012, our members transferred to the Eastern Ontario Regional Laboratory Association (EORLA), an integrated hospital laboratory organization encompassing the operation of 18 laboratories within the LHIN – spanning from Deep River in the north, to Barry's Bay in the west, and Cornwall to the east.

Local 475 is one of 90 OPSEU Locals within Region 4. Together our region represents more than 20,000 workers.

Proudly Serving

The first Executive of Local 475 was elected Nov. 3, 2012.

The Executive is comprised of elected members who proudly serve to deliver a strong voice in all matters from contract negotiations to workplace safety. Our goal is to ensure our members are well represented and informed in all important issues concerning our workplace and the crucial work we perform within our healthcare system.
