Hundreds of vehicles have joined our Appreciation Rallies all over Ontario. We invite you to join us in London and Oshawa to be a part of this powerful movement.
SEIU Healthcare continues our Appreciation Rallies in Barrie! We invite you to join us this Saturday, May 23, as we continue to support our membership.
Since the Ontario government announced it was going to provide pandemic pay to frontline healthcare workers, SEIU Healthcare has been leading the discussions with the government to ensure all healthcare workers, including clerical, ward clerks, MDRD, and others, are included.
COVID-19 has affected the entire world so a multitude of ways. We have seen firsthand how it has affected our membership, the public, and our health system.
This Sunday, May 17, SEIU Healthcare continues to support our membership by having another Appreciation Car Rally in Orillia.
On April 16, 2020, I wrote to you requesting that your provincial government use its existing authority in the Long-Term Care Homes Act to take over administrative and operational control of the crisis by putting problematic facilities in trusteeship.
SEIU Healthcare has organized numerous appreciation car rallies all over Ontario, we will continue showing our support by visiting units in the Collingwood area.
Happy Nursing Week to all of our incredible nurses! Please join us on SEIU Healthcare's Facebook Live on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 to celebrate.
This Nursing Week, SEIU Healthcare is launching our new nursing campaign, Nurses Unite. Unity. Safety. Full-time work. These are the values our nurses fight for everyday and these are the issues we are bringing to the forefront.
Over the past few days, SEIU Healthcare has organized numerous appreciation car rallies in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, to honour frontline workers and remember our sisters Sharon Roberts, Arlene Reid, and Christine Mandegarian.
Union is calling for three urgent investigations by Premier Ford, the Regional Police, and Ontario's Chief Coroner to keep people alive and determine accountability.
