Perhaps it helps if we put this into bumper sticker slogans a politician can understand:

👏Raise the wage
👏Hire the staff
👏Fix the care

Despite misleading spin from the province, frontline #healthcare workers know care conditions are getting worse not better.

In today's Toronto Star 👀

Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into 2024 the average woman must work to have earn what the average man did in 2023.

Today and every day, we stand up and fight back against anyone who tries to deny working women what they deserve #PayEquityNow

Bob Bass & Associates are paid by Ontario’s largest for-profit nursing homes to delay and deny working women the wages we’re owed. That money should go to the frontline to solve the staffing crisis for better senior care, not to pad the pockets of backroom corporate consultants.

Weekend #3 is complete for our #LeadershipAcademy as our members across Ontario fight back against Doug Ford’s healthcare privatization plan. Join us next Saturday for more important public outreach!

Doug Ford’s government appealed our 2019 Court decision that gave tens of thousands of women access to pay equity. Ford lost that appeal in 2021, and then was denied a 2nd appeal, this time by the Supreme Court. Stop fighting against working women; allow access to #PayEquityNow

Ontario midwives have battled the Ontario government since 2013, alleging discrimination in compensation on the basis of gender.  In 2020, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal ordered back pay to 2011, in addition to several other remedies. #PayEquityNow

CEO Vlad Volodarski and Chartwell have paid their shareholders over $1.3 billion in dividends since 2013, denying tens of thousands of women the access to pay equity they deserve. Chartwell, it’s time to do what’s right. #PayEquityNow

In June 2023, the Pay Equity Tribunal determined that Bluewater Health didn't negotiate fairly. They cancelled the agreed terms and put their own plan for achieving pay equity in place without consulting SEIU Healthcare or staff at their hospitals. #PayEquityNow

We’ve stood up to powerful nursing home chains like Chartwell, Extendicare and Sienna and won decision after decision to preserve our members’ rights to pay equity. It’s time to reduce the gender pay gap and fulfill this fundamental human right to fair compensation. #PayEquityNow

Weekend #2 of the Leadership Academy is complete, as our members do their part to educate the public about the dangers of privatizing our healthcare system.

Week 1 of the Leadership Academy is in the books, with SEIU Healthcare members across Ontario mobilizing and educating the public about why privatization is bad for the people of this province. #KeepHealthcareAccessibleForAll

ParaMed Home Health Service workers across Ontario have voted to ratify a historic Collective Agreement.

The united Bargaining Committee achieved unprecedented wage improvements never seen in homecare.
