jeffrey `` jeff '' raymond rose -lrb- born 1946 -rrb- is a canadian trade unionist and former public servant .
he is national president emeritus of the canadian union of public employees , having served as national president of cupe from 1983 -- 1991 , and was deputy minister of intergovernmental affairs for the government of ontario from 1991 to 1995 .
rose began his career as a city planner in the city of toronto and in 1976 became active with his local union , cupe local 79 , which represents city of toronto inside workers .
in 1980 he was elected president of local 79 and in the next two years negotiated collective agreements containing across-the-board wage increases that totaled 26.5 % .
these bargaining achievements , and campaigns around working conditions and short-staffing in homes for the aged and around waste disposal and landfill in toronto that he conducted for local 79 , brought him to the attention of cupe locals on a national scale .
in 1983 , with rank-and-file support from a wide spectrum of locals , rose ran from the floor of the cupe national convention and was elected national president , succeeding grace hartman .
rose 's years as national president of cupe were marked by national membership growth from 294,000 members to 407,000 members -lrb- largely through organizing -rrb- ; a strengthening of cupe 's infrastructure , staff capabilities , and rank-and-file skills ; and his outspoken opposition to brian mulroney-era wage restraint , free trade , the gst , privatization , deregulation , and cuts to public services .
under rose 's leadership cupe was particularly effective in improving pay and working conditions for women .
in 1991 rose declined to run for a fifth term and was appointed deputy minister of intergovernmental affairs in the ontario new democratic party government of bob rae .
he was named national president emeritus of cupe and was succeeded by judy darcy .
as deputy minister rose was the lead negotiator and senior policy strategist for ontario in its relations with the federal government and with the other provincial governments .
he held the position until 1995 , when he moved to the university of toronto and was named a senior fellow on conflict management and negotiation .
he retired in 2002 .
the same year , rose wrote an op-ed piece with lawyer clayton ruby and physician philip berger calling on their fellow leftists to denounce the anti-semitism of `` an increasingly vocal part '' of the canadian left .
