Leaders and members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario held a protest on Wednesday calling for their workplace bargaining agreements to be restored.
Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) of CUPE president Michael Hurley explained that Bill 195’s emergency orders allows employers in a broad range of health and social services to change people’s shifts, jobs, location and other actions without notice.
This isn’t sitting well with OCHU/CUPE.
CUPE Ontario president Fred Hahn said these orders aren’t needed as their members stepped up during the crisis without being told to.
