Latest news and information
Stop the cuts!
Children, Community and Social Services funding cut by $200 million since 2018.
In 2019, Legal Aid Ontario funding was cut by $133 million – or 30% — without warning.
In 2024, FAO estimated our programs were underfunded by $3.7 billion.
Who we are
We are a coalition of workers from OPSEU/SEFPO. We work in:
- Developmental Services
- Child Welfare
- Community Agencies
- Youth Justice
- Children’s Treatment Centres
- Community Healthcare
- Mental Health and Addictions
What’s at stake
Our workplaces have been chronically underfunded and our wages have been suppressed by the Ford government.
The government has repeatedly failed to provide meaningful funding improvements, leaving us to navigate the increasing challenges our communities face without adequate support.
After Bill 124, the Ford government’s wage suppression bill, got overturned, our counterparts in numerous other public sectors who were affected received retroactive wage increases. We did not.
We are paid significantly less than our counterparts, making it hard to attract new workers or keep experienced ones. This staffing crisis limits our ability to provide high quality, effective and safe public services.
We are campaigning for better funding NOW. Without this, we face the risk of program closures, labour disruptions, and reduction in the quality of services that our communities heavily rely on.
The time to act is NOW.
Workers, our services, and the people of Ontario are worth fighting for!
