CUPE National President Mark Hancock to Join WSIB Picket Line in Ottawa
Hancock's visit comes as more than 3,600 WSIB frontline staff continue a province-wide strike that has now stretched beyond two months — the first strike in the organization's 110-year history.
The picket will take place in front of the constituency office of Ottawa West–Nepean MPP Chandra Pasma, as part of a broader effort to raise public and political awareness of the urgent need for leadership from WSIB decision-makers.
Where:
1580 Merivale Road, Unit 500 (MPP Chandra Pasma's constituency office)
Time
Between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m.
"We're grateful to have CUPE National President Mark Hancock join us in Ottawa," said Harry Goslin, President of the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750). "His support sends a powerful message — this deal should have been done weeks ago, and the delay lies squarely with WSIB leadership. What's missing is the mandate from the CEO and Board to bring this strike to a fair conclusion."
Despite good-faith efforts and ongoing mediated talks, WSIB has refused to table a final offer. The union's bargaining team remains ready to reach a fair settlement — 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"We're calling on the WSIB to pull out all the stops and get this done before Canada Day," said Goslin. "It's time to finish the deal — and restore stability for injured workers across Ontario."
