Ontario Government Must Stop Ignoring the Needs of Ontario's Personal Support Workers


RICHMOND HILL, ON, Sept. 11, 2019 /CNW/ -

Canada's Healthcare Union (CNW Group/SEIU Healthcare)

STATEMENT FROM SEIU HEALTHCARE PRESIDENT SHARLEEN STEWART:

"Doug Ford's Conservative Government continues to ignore the needs of Ontario's PSWs. 

Ontario has a recruitment and retention crisis, and without a genuine effort to directly support the hardworking PSWs in our homecare system, they will be unable to meet the needs of vulnerable seniors. 

Doug Ford and Minister Elliott can't say they're for the people on a Wednesday when they've already eliminated the retirement fund for PSWs and continue to move forward with an anti-worker agenda that would cap the wages for many already precarious PSWs.

When corporate interests are driving the healthcare agenda in the Premier's Office without the voices of frontline healthcare workers, our system will continue to move in the wrong direction."
