Campaign to launch today

Three major unions representing Ontario health-care workers say their members are still struggling to obtain personal protective equipment, and the provincial government needs to do more to ensure their safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unifor, the health-care arm of the Service Employees International Union and the Canadian Union of Public Employees, are also calling for a universal wage of 25-dollars an hour for all personal support workers regardless of what part of the provincial system they work in.

The unions are launching a provincewide public awareness campaign on the issues today.
