CUPE members are building power across Ontario in OH @Home workers!
Every month across Ontario, OH @Home workers provide homecare services to 400,000, elderly, children, and everyone in between. We’re made up of team assistants, administrative workers, care coordinators, nurses, personal support workers, occupational and physio therapists, IT professionals and other healthcare workers who are committed to providing the care that Ontarians need.
There are many challenges affecting health care workers today, including Bill 135, the merger of 14 HCCSS agencies into OH @Home, and the resulting labour relations issues to be settled through the Public Sector Labour Relations Transition Act. Now more than ever, OH @Home workers must stay united and strong!
CUPE is leading campaigns in the health care sector for higher wages, job security, and real solutions to the crisis facing home and community health care workers. CUPE members are fighting for the rights, wages, and respect that all OH @Home workers deserve!
Strong participation by CUPE Ontario Health atHome members in survey
Participation by CUPE Ontario Health atHome members from across the province in a CUPE survey probing key issues was resoundingly strong. Hundreds and hundreds took the time to write in thousands of comments about how the constant restructuring of work and changes in health care delivery are adversely affecting them.
