Why Local 332 is having a rally.
CLASS workers deserve a safe workplace
The workers at the Community Living Association for South Simcoe (CLASS) support individuals with developmental disabilities to live independently in group home accommodation.
Although a small percentage of total residents, CLASS facilities are not designed or equipped to accommodate individuals with a history of violence or substance use. Workers are not trained to support individuals with these complex needs – and these workers are being put at risk.
There has been an increase in physical and verbal assaults on workers, which have resulted in concussions, stitches, broken bones, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The employer must intervene immediately to protect the safety of CLASS workers and provide a safe workplace – help us demand it!
