In a statement issued after the news conference, Fred Hahn, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario, said Ontarians were waiting for some sort of commitment to deliver paid sick days, only to get “absolutely nothing.”
“The chorus of voices calling for paid sick days is roaring over Ford’s inaction,” Hahn said. “It’s time to back apologies with actions. It’s time for far more than an assurance that he’ll work on something.”
