Privatization of LTC facilities and the obvious Failures

Dead bodies laying in bed unrecognized, residents covered in feces, multi-layer diapers that haven't been changed in days, residents without food and water. All it cost them was between $6000-10000 a month.

Now, it is the sick parents being held hostage....

Over the past week, OPSEU has forced a series of employers to back off on decisions that would have left vulnerable workers even more vulnerable:

*The union forced Canadian Blood Services to reverse its decision not to provide all of its workers with protective masks.

*We forced the multinational Honeywell to backtrack on a plan to lay off hospital maintenance workers.

*And just today, we forced the Ottawa Hospital to rescind a decision to strip its part time and casual workers of paid sick time.
