OCEU/CUPE 1750 Reaches Tentative Deal with WSIB After Historic Three-Week Strike
After more than six weeks on the picket lines and unprecedented solidarity across the province, members of the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750) have reached a tentative agreement with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
'This has been one of the toughest fights in our union's history—and I could not be prouder of our members,' said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU/CUPE 1750. 'For six weeks, we stood strong on picket lines in every corner of Ontario. We made it clear: we won't back down from protecting public services, demanding respect, and standing up for injured workers. This tentative deal reflects that strength.'
The tentative agreement follows weeks of stalled talks, growing public concern over WSIB service backlogs, and revelations that the Board had begun taking costly shortcuts in adjudication due to a mounting claims crisis. Frontline workers raised the alarm, broad support from the public, injured worker advocates, and elected officials.
'Our members were clear, they wanted real investments in frontline staffing, a stop to outsourcing Ontario jobs, and safer workloads. While we'll be presenting the full details to our members first, I can say this, our bargaining team believes we've made meaningful progress on those priorities,' said Goslin.
OCEU/CUPE 1750 will be holding membership meetings in the coming days to present the terms of the tentative agreement, followed by a ratification vote. Until the vote is completed, no further details of the agreement will be made public.

NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG) Could Go Up In H2 2025, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) is a large American energy company that produces electricity, trades in commodities, and conducts other operations. The shares have gained a massive 70% year-to-date, primarily on the back of a 31% jump in May ahead of which the stock had gained a considerably less 28%. NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG)'s shares jumped in May after the firm's first-quarter revenue and EPS beat analyst estimates and the firm announced a massive $12 billion deal to acquire power generation assets which led it to increase its long-term growth rate to 14% from 10%. For Cramer, NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) was part of his top stocks to watch for the second half due to growing power demand. His comments were brief: 'NRG will be up, you need a lot of power.' Close up image of an engineer inspecting the control panel of a modern power plant. Cramer mentioned NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG)'s exposure to the technology industry in June. Here is what he said: 'Then there's NRG. I mean, it's part of a small group of utilities known for their relatively clean power, and a lot of tech companies want clean energy for their data centers. NRG works directly with them, and it also partners with GE Vernova, a Charitable Trust holding that makes the turbines for their power plants.' While we acknowledge the potential of NRG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
