Local Political Action Contacts
ETFO maintains a list of political action contacts in each local to keep them informed about activities at Queen’s Park – those of the government and of the opposition parties. Members are informed either through e-mail updates or mailings.
ETFO Political Action Listservs
ETFO maintains two listservs which facilitate communications from Government Relations Officer, Vivian McCaffrey:
- ETFOpanet
- This listserv is for members in good standing who are interested in receiving regular political information updates.
- To join, go to
http://list.web.net/lists/listinfo/etfopanet, read the instructions, and fill out the subscription form.
- Once approved, you will begin receiving regular updates from Vivian
- Panet
- This listserv is for the political action contacts in the locals.
- Members are added to this list automatically upon being assigned the portfolio.
Campaigns and Communications
ETFO also coordinates all-local and all-member campaigns to advance public education on the government agenda. A new feature coming soon to our website will be an email campaign tool that allows you to target emails on important issues to your local MP or MPP. The report, 
Queen’s Park Highlights, gives you an up-to-date “union take” on what’s happening at the Ontario legislature when it is in session. Finally, the 
Political Action Questionnaire allows members to indicate their interest in receiving political action resources and participating in campaigns and government lobbying.
