September 3rd Day of Action for the Extendicare Central Table

The Extendicare Central Table last heard from their employer on June 29th. The employer provided an offer that would force workers to take a backseat to corporate profits, setting Long-Term Care workers across Ontario back in the process. After a summer of silence from their employer, members of the Central Table locals are taking to the streets outside their workplaces to call attention to the delayed process.

This delay effects all long-term care workers in Ontario. The Extendicare Central Table has set the pattern for wages and working conditions in the sector for nearly a decade. Many other employers are choosing not to engage in negotiations until the Extendicare negotiations reach a conclusion. These workers are fighting for better not just for themselves, but for all health care workers in Ontario. We ask that if you are able, find a rally in your community and attend. If you are unable to attend, we ask that you wear red on that day to show your solidarity with the Central Table locals.
