NDP MPP Jessica Bell to Join WSIB Strike Picket Line in Toronto
TORONTO — NDP MPP for University–Rosedale, Jessica Bell, will join striking WSIB workers on the picket line at 200 Front Street West on Monday, June 16 at 11:15 a.m., in solidarity with 3,600 frontline members of the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750).
Article content
Now entering four weeks on strike, OCEU members are calling for fair wages, safe and healthy workplaces, and an end to the privatization and outsourcing of Ontario jobs to U.S.-based companies. These workers play a vital role in supporting injured workers and ensuring employers meet their obligations under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act.
Article content
'WSIB leadership and the Ford government opted to ignore the voices of injured workers and front-line staff, instead outsourcing essential services to the United States. Now, injured workers are dealing with growing delays and backlogs, while employers receive millions in unjustified rebates. Ontario workers deserve better,' Jessica Bell, MPP for University-Rosedale, Shadow minister for finance and treasury board.
