CUPE members have watched the COVID-19 pandemic unfold in long-term care with horror. Decades of underfunding and understaffing have led to a crisis in long-term care, with disastrous results.
Now we urgently need your help. On October 28th, Bill 13, the Time to Care Act, goes to second reading in the Ontario Legislature. It is essential that this legislation passes at second reading to enshrine a minimum standard of care of 4 hours per resident per day for all residents in long-term care.
We need you to have phone call or Zoom meetings with your MPP. Will you commit to a meeting with your MPP? Fill in the form and CUPE Ontario will contact you to help set up a meeting and provide lobbying notes.
We have the opportunity to change long-term care in our province, with better care and living conditions for residents and better working conditions for our members and all workers in long-term care. But we cannot do it alone.
We must do everything we can between now and October 28th to pressure our MPPs to support Bill 13.
