Join retirement home workers from OPSEU/SEFPO Local 332 in Alliston, Ontario as they demand a living wage from Aspira Kingsmere Retirement Living – owned by for-profit giant Sienna Senior Living, which charges residents thousands per month and raked in more than three quarters of a billion dollars in revenue in 2023.

Aspira Kingsmere Retirement Living is so short-staffed that they have PSWs pitching in to do admin work and kitchen work. No wonder they can’t attract or retain enough workers – dietary aides earn minimum wage, PSWs earn $19, and nurses earn $24 (which is $15 less than nurses who do the same work at the nearest hospital). Most staff at Kingsmere earn less than a living wage, which is $22.75 in Simcoe County.

Kingsmere Retirement Living residents deserve better than short-staffed care. We learned during the pandemic how dangerous short-staffing can be, and how valuable retirement home workers are. Sienna Senior Living’s revenues went up by almost 11% in 2023 – they can afford to pay more to the retirement home workers who make it all possible!
