LONDON, ON – Harry Goslin, President of the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750), will join striking Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) workers on the picket line in London on Thursday, June 12, in a show of solidarity as the historic province-wide strike enters its fourth week.
Goslin will visit workers on the line at the WSIB Office, 148 Fullarton St., where he will thank members for their strength and determination and deliver remarks in support of their ongoing fight for fair wages, safer workplaces, and an end to the outsourcing of Ontario jobs.
Where:
- WSIB Office, 148 Fullarton St., London, Ontario
Time:
- 10:00 a.m.- 2 p.m.
“This strike has shown the power of frontline workers standing together to defend public services, demand fair wages, and push back against reckless outsourcing,” said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU/CUPE 1750. “I look forward to joining our members in London as they continue to send a clear message to WSIB and the Ford government: it’s time for a fair deal.”
WSIB staff represented by OCEU/CUPE 1750 have been on strike since May 21, citing unmanageable workloads, chronic understaffing, stagnant wages, and the contracting out of public services to U.S.-based firms.
