Health Care Unions Respond to Minister Fullerton's New LTC Staffing Group -March 17th 2021

"We reject the inclusion of Miranda Ferrier as a legitimate representative of personal support workers (PSWs) or any other health care worker.

Not only does OPSWA represent very few PSWs, but they also have a seemingly incestuous governance model that raises serious concerns. Her advocacy promotes gig-work, which serves employers more than it serves seniors or workers.

You can’t speak for workers while also receiving money from nursing home corporations that lobby for anti-worker policies, which have proven disastrous during the pandemic."
