Notice: PHO Virtual Town Hall Bargaining update and Q + A
Dear OPSEU/SEFPO members working at Public Health Ontario, We would like to invite you to join us for an online virtual town hall to discuss
Send a message to the CBS Board and Canada’s Health Ministers to keep our national blood collection system voluntary and public.
Stop for-profit plasma collection now!
Hema-Quebec has shown that investment in public voluntary plasma collection is key to self-sufficiency. Australia, too, has reached almost 60% self-sufficiency, with just 2 plasma-only collection centres, by upgrading the majority of blood collection centres to collect both plasma and blood – an easier, faster transition.
Instead of throwing money at a private company, CBS should invest in plasma collection centres and upgrade more blood donation centres so they can also collect plasma.
Private plasma companies have a history of exploiting vulnerable communities. Their predatory practices target young people and those facing financial difficulty. Canadian donors should never be treated as a source for private economic gain.
The Voluntary Blood Donations Act bans payment for blood in Ontario. The exemption allowing CBS to pay donors was meant for emergency circumstances; not as a legal loophole to sell off Canada’s plasma donors to private companies!
CBS cannot be allowed to quietly privatize Canada’s blood plasma. CBS is accountable to the public. CBS must uphold their mandate to treat blood and plasma as a public resource: Cancel the deal with Grifols!
