The Ford government is engaging in anti-union bargaining tactics with Ontario Health workers who are CUPE Local 5516 members. These workers have been in bargaining since May 2023 and have been offered wages that are below their non-union Ontario Health colleagues who do the exact same work – a clear sign of union-busting behaviour.

These members have not received a wage increase since 2020. Not having a wage increase in over four years has taken a toll on members of CUPE Local 5516. They’re feeling the stress of rising inflation, mortgage rates, and the cost of living, on top of increased workload and a lack of appreciation from the Employer.

Members of Local 5516 are overworked and underpaid and they must be treated with respect!

Sign your name to demand that Ontario Health workers get the respect they deserve!

Your email will be sent to your local MPP, the President of the Treasury Board of Ontario Carolyn Mulroney, CEO of Ontario Health Mathew Andreson and Premier Doug Ford.

Subject: Stop the union-busting! CUPE Ontario Health Workers Deserve Fair Wages Now!

Dear [MPP],

Members of CUPE Local 5516 have been at the bargaining table since May 2023 negotiating their first collective agreement. Unfortunately, you have offered these workers wages that are well below their non-union colleagues who do the exact same work – a clear sign of union busting behaviour.

We know that Doug Ford and his Conservative government hate unions. Unionized Ontario Health employees should not be the ones paying the price of this anti-union behaviour. This is unacceptable!

Members of Local 5516 are overworked and undervalued and all they’re asking for is fair wages and wage harmonization.

It’s time to give members of CUPE Local 5516 fair wages now!

Sincerely,

[Name]
