It’s time to turn up the pressure as thousands of OPSEU/SFEPO community, health and social services members enter week two of their historic Worth Fighting For strike.
These workers show up every day to care for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, whether they support adults with disabilities, women experiencing homelessness, or children in crisis. Now, they need us to show up for them.
This week we have seen a wave of community support, with families and clients joining the lines and talking to media about why they’re on the side of workers.
We have the attention of the employers and the government – now we need to push them to act.
We need as many OPSEU/SEFPO members and allies as possible to show up at key locations to maximize impact.
Ready to stand with these workers?
Week of action
This is the last week MPPs will be at the legislature before the summer – that’s why we’re kicking off a week of action.
On Monday, June 1, show up at one of the locations below as they kickstart a powerful second week on the lines in a fight for the future of services that we all rely on.
On Wednesday, June 3, we’re organizing mass actions at four secret locations in Thunder Bay, London, Toronto and Brockville. For now: save the date, sign up here, and stay tuned for more details!
Nearly 4,000 OPSEU/SEFPO members, in 23 bargaining units in community and social services, are on strike or locked out. These workers are taking a brave and historic stand – for each other, for the people they support, and the future of the services and care they provide.
They are fighting for funding for services and for wages stolen under Doug Ford’s unconstitutional Bill 124. Other OPSEU/SEFPO members have already received retroactive Bill 124 pay, including members in hospitals, colleges and the Ontario Public Service. But these workers have been left behind – all while holding up a system in crisis.
