Ram Selvarajah has what it takes to lead OPSEU/SEFPO, but don't just take our word for it…
Disagreement Without Gridlock
"I've argued with Ram and seen his dedication to open communication and considering other views."
— Loretta Clark, Local 123 President
OPSEU members need executive leadership that can take heat, hold disagreement, and still move a divided room toward a clear decision.
Because bargaining power isn’t just what you say across the table; it’s whether the union can leave the room aligned, execute a plan, and hold the line because that’s how we win for members.

Hi, I'm Loretta Clark, and I'm endorsing Ram Selvarajah for the Executive Board of OPSEU/SEFPO.
I've known Ram for almost 10 years. In that time, I've known him to be honest, open, knowledgeable, and respectful.
As the current Vice-Chair of OPTrust, past Local President, past MERC Co-Chair, and current President of the Peel District Labour Council, Ram has proven himself to be a leader—and more importantly, a mentor.
I've argued with Ram and seen his dedication to open communication and considering other views. I've asked Ram for help and have had members across the province, from different sectors, be guided by him to better outcomes.
OPSEU/SEFPO members looking for accountability, transparency, cohesiveness, and integrity should vote for Ram Selvarajah.
I'm Loretta Clark, and I endorse this message.
Problem-Solver in Practice
“This guy gets things done.
we need somebody who's a person of action. Somebody who's competent, who has a plan, and who's a troubleshooter.
And I don't see anybody better than Ram Selvarajah.”
— Chris Draxyl President 526 Local
OPSEU needs First VP leadership that can turn priorities into plans, plans into decisions, and decisions into follow-through—because members don’t benefit from promises; they benefit from outcomes.

Hey OPSEU members! I'm Chris Draxyl, President of OPSEU Local 526, and I'm also on your OPS Unified Bargaining Team as the FXT Unclassified Rep.
Listen, I want to tell you about something exciting that's happening this election year. Ram Selvarajah is somebody that I'm endorsing for First Vice-President, and of course, for the Region 5 Executive Board.
And you may ask, why Ram? Well, I'll tell you several reasons, but let me give you a couple of examples.
We needed an auditor in my local. We went into an audit—we had a financial situation. Ram successfully completed our audit, made great recommendations, and we came out with flying colours and a very successful outcome.
I also know that Ram, as an IT professional for more than two decades, has been a troubleshooter, a problem solver, and a collaborator. This guy gets things done.
So when we think about the Executive Board and their role in resolving things with the OPSEU leadership and the officers of our union, I think we need somebody who's a person of action. Somebody who's competent, who has a plan, and who's a troubleshooter. And I don't see anybody better than Ram Selvarajah.
That's why I'm voting for him.
I hope you can be a delegate this year, folks. Come join us—there's a lot of excitement buzzing about Ram. Please come join us and vote for Ram as well.
Thank you.
