Personal support workers (PSWs) at the Hillcrest site of the University Health Network (UHN) are paid $16.83 an hour or less, have 3 paid sick days a year, and are overwhelmingly women and racialized. This reactivation hospital takes patients from the wider UHN, where PSWs enjoy better pay and benefits.
The Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, and CUPE Ontario are organizing a Car Cavalcade this Saturday morning, March 13, to tell UHN to stop the exploitation of the women working at Hillcrest and make them direct employees.
