OPSEU/SEFPO joined OCHU-CUPE, ONA, SEIU Healthcare and Unifor at Queen’s Park on November 24 for a news conference speaking out against the Ford government’s failing health care “plan.”
The unions have joined forces to fight for immediate action to resolve the staffing crisis in Ontario’s public hospitals, and provide solutions to stabilize Ontario’s crashing health care system.
The five leaders also expressed grave concern that Ford is using the crisis to drive his costly privatization agenda and warned that two-tier health delivery will make staffing shortages, wait times and patient outcomes even worse.
