Why Join a union in Ontario?
Unions give you the support and help you need to be in control at work. You can take on your boss without the fear of losing your job.
We have your back in this pandemic
It takes healthcare workers to deliver quality patient care. And it takes a healthcare-only
union to fight for your safety and security.
That’s why SEIU Healthcare is laser focused on serving only workers in the healthcare sector, it’s what we’ve done for over 70 years and why we’ve got the most experienced team to service your needs at the most critical time in your career. Your SEIU Healthcare team is ready when you need protection the most.
A department to win your WSIB case should you get sick or injured in the workplace:
- We win over $1 million a year in claims for hospital workers who are forced off of work due to workplace illness/injuries including back/shoulder injuries, mental stress, and COVID-19.
A government relations team to call out the government when confusing directives leave workers vulnerable:
- We sued the government and won better protections and PPE access, including N95s, for hospital workers
- We are fighting to get Bill 124 repealed so that healthcare workers receive the wage increase they need and deserve, especially during the pandemic.
- We are advocating for better health and safety conditions in every sector to create a more secure and inclusive workplace.
