Take Action
Events & Conferences

On March 8, CUPE, SEIU, and Unifor health and long-term care workers will launch their campaign to demand respect, protection, and adequate compensation for all health care workers: Respect Us, Protect Us, Pay Us.
Following the overstress of health care resources and failure of Ontario’s long-term care system during the COVID-19 pandemic, health care workers are uniting to demand action from the Ford government.
The campaign will officially launch on International Women’s Day in recognition of the fact that a significant number of health and long-term care workers are racialized women workers subject to low pay, precarious work conditions.

We are asking CUPE health and long-term care locals to take photos of your members wearing the stickers and holding up the posters.
If you are a hospital worker send your photos to [email protected]. If you are a long-term care worker, send your photos to [email protected]
