Canadian Union of Public Employees President Fred Hahn and Ontario Council of Hospital Unions President Michael Hurley held a news conference Monday morning ahead of their rally dubbed “Restore Our Rights: Abuse of Power Betrays Heroes.”
Hahn and Hurley says workers made sacrifices early on in the pandemic because it was a health care emergency. But Hahn says employers are now breaking “significant sections” of collective agreements, allowed under Bill 195, which he called “extraordinary” and “unprecedented.”
