This week,  we celebrate National Spiritual Care Week a time to honor and celebrate all practitioners of spiritual care.  Taking place from October 25-31, this year’s theme, Collaborative Healthcare: Chaplains Complete the Picture, highlights the invaluable role chaplains / spiritual care practitioners play in supporting patients, families and staff.

Good morning everyone

As you know, the government has agreed to increase our members’ right to access N-95 masks in return for OCHU-CUPE, SEIU and Unifor withdrawing our legal action.
We asked Goldblatt Partners to produce a simpler Guide to Directive #5, which we have produced, together with SEIU and Unifor.

We are working on a membership card which outlines their rights in simple terms.

Thanks very much,
Michael, Louis, and, Sharon

OCHU/CUPE Membership Bargaining Survey – 2020

Dear CUPE Hospital Members,

Central bargaining begins in the spring of 2021. It will set the pattern for over 50,000 hospital and long-term care staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees in Ontario.

It is important that your central bargaining committee know exactly what improvements you want from the next round of bargaining. We will judge the success of negotiations by our members’ reaction to the end result.

Your local union leaders will attend a provincial bargaining conference in November 2020 where the priorities for bargaining will be decided based upon this survey.

Bargaining in 2021 will be challenging given the provincial government’s compensation restraint policy. We will need your full participation in the campaign to push for a contract that respects our members dedication and skill.

Throughout this process we will be issuing bulletins to update you.

Thank you,

Michael Hurley, President
Sharon Richer, Secretary-Treasurer
Louis Rodriguez, First V.P.
