Join OPSEU/SEFPO and CUPE Ontario members at MPP offices province-wide!
Community support workers represented by OPSEU/SEFPO and CUPE Ontario will be picketing MPP offices province-wide every day this week to demand more funding for the services we provide.
We work in:
- developmental services
- child welfare
- community agencies
- youth justice
- universities
- children’s treatment centres
- hearing services
- community healthcare
- mental health and addictions agencies
Since 2018, when the Ford government came into power, per capita spending for children, community and social services and postsecondary education has shrunk each year. In 2024, FAO estimated that the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services programs were underfunded by $3.7 billion.
In this time, demand for our services has increased and our wages have not kept up, after being capped by Ford’s Bill 124 for years. We deserve to be paid fairly for our work. We are Worth Fighting For!
The government has the money. We’re going to our MPPS to demand a piece of the pie!
From May 20 to May 23, join OPSEU/SEFPO and CUPE members at your local MPP office to demand the wages and funding you deserve.
Join the fight! Come out to an action near you:
