Public health care in Ontario is under attack. Join us at a Unifor Town Hall to discuss the current state of health care in Ontario, addressing key issues and concerns.
The Unifor Health Care Conference took advantage of the seaside location in Halifax, N.S. to give health care workers some time to breathe, share experiences, and discuss common challenges.
KITCHENER – Unifor Local 1106, representing nearly 1,400 dedicated health care workers at Grand River Hospital, is calling on hospital management and the Board of Directors to recognize and fairly compensate its frontline heroes.
Amidst an alarming rise in job vacancies, unprecedented ER closures, and thousands of patients dying waiting on surgical wait-lists, three major unions representing about 70,000 workers in Ontario’s hospital sector signed a Solidarity Pact to Save Our Public Hospitals “from further austerity and privatization” at Queen’s Park today.
On September 25, 2023 more than 8,000 Ontarians and nearly 1,000 Unifor members across Ontario, came together to rally against Doug Ford's health care privatization agenda.
Hundreds of health care workers wore red shirts and took their lunch break on Monday, Sept. 25 to speak out against unjust treatment of the administrative professionals bargaining unit in Nova Scotia’s acute health care system.
The unit, comprising more than 5,000 professionals working for Nova Scotia Health and the IWK Health Authorities, has been without a contract for nearly three years and has only been offered marginal wage increases that amount to a pay cut.
KITCHENER - Unifor Local 1106, representing the dedicated and compassionate workforce at Sunbeam Community & Developmental Services, demand the employer return to the table and offer workers fair and equitable wages for its members.
“Sunbeam Community & Developmental Services is suppressing wage adjustments related to Bill 124 and neglecting to maintain and review pay equity requirements,” said Samia Hashi, Unifor Ontario Regional Director. “In the face of this unacceptable behaviour, we are calling for justice for our members.”
Healthcare workers of Unifor Local 2458 have successfully concluded their contract negotiations with Chatham Kent Hospital, resulting in several improvements for members spread across Chatham and Wallaceburg, Ontario.
SAULT STE. MARIE– Unifor, the union representing the dedicated workers at ARCH Hospice will conduct an information picket outside the facility on September 18 to draw attention to the issues workers are facing in this round of contract negotiations.
