Thousands of workers across Ontario are putting themselves at risk to deliver the

vital public services our communities depend on during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

But many were excluded from recent pandemic pay increases

announced by the Ford Conservatives.   

Send a message to Premier Doug Ford and Ministers Christine Elliott and

Peter Bethlenfalvy to demand pandemic pay recognition for all front-line workers. 

In solidarity, 
CUPE Ontario

Action for your members on Pandemic Pay ($4.00 an hour temporary top-up) 
We have received this email message from The OCHU executive:

Dear sisters and brothers,
As you know, the Ontario government announced a Pandemic Pay top-up of $4.00 an hour until August 12. We have been lobbying hard at the Ministry of Health and Treasury Board and have expanded the list of facilities covered to all hospitals and all of long term care.
We have been lobbying the government also to expand the list of classifications covered to include clerical and administrative/maintenance/labs/pharmacy/stores/mdrd and others. We have yet to see an updated list of classifications covered, we expect that to be released in the next few days,
In the meantime, please ask any of your members who are concerned they are not covered to click on the link below to send a message to Premier Ford.We are also asking your members who are are covered to write and urge the government to cover their co-workers.This link is on the OCHU website, but the link is also below.Please get your members to fill this out and send it in. It will help.In solidarity,Michael, Louis, and Sharon
