The striking Local 276 members just want to get back to what they do best: caring for the people of #OwenSound. Tell the doctors who own #OSFHO to get back to the table with a decent offer. They can afford it. It's a matter of care. #onpoli #canlab

OPSEU demands Owen Sound doctors ‘stop playing games’ | OPSEU opseu.org/news/opseu-dem… #getbacktothetable #276strike #OPSEU

Congratulations to #OPSEU Local 276 & their new Bargaining Team.When the employer looks across the table now they will not just see their employees,they will see the all the other workers that have their backs!! #unions #strongerthanever OPSEU/SEFPO Unifor #276Strike

At #QueensPark news conference on #badbossdoctors, Smokey Thomas says: "Doctors take an oath to do no harm. But the #OSFHO doctors aren't living up to that oath by treating their employees with such disrespect." OPSEU/SEFPO @JerryPDias Unifor #canlab #onpoli

Doctors deserve respect, but not the #badbossdoctors who spend a fortune on high-priced TO lawyers instead of investing in decent wages and working conditions for their front-line health workers. Smokey Thomas & @JerryPDias took this message to Doug Ford #OSFHO #onpoli #canlab

Doctors at #OSFHO have made it impossible to continue negotiations - wanting to lay off all but a couple of the striking workers. Smokey Thomas is calling on Christine Elliott to intervene in the strike and hold the doctors accountable #onpoli ow.ly/3Jfz30l0CeF

OPSEU President Smokey Thomas calls on Premier Doug Ford to take action in the ongoing health care strikes in #OwenSound and #ThunderBay and ensure these 'bad bosses' are held accountable #onpoli ow.ly/MNSf30l0Ded

Bad news for patients if the Owen Sound Family Health Organization owners boost profits by eliminating nurses, says the @RPNAO. "Patients deserve nursing care," says the @RPNAO CEO in the Owen Sound Sun Times. bit.ly/2NtXZJG #OwenSound #Canlab #Onpoli #doctorsnotowners

How does having fewer qualified and trained nurses make things more efficient? Smokey Thomas asks of #OSFHO. Overpaid owners should be cut from their own top ranks to find the extra cash they’re after, not nurses #onpoli #OwenSound #PublicHealth ow.ly/wpqP30l2N8r

Monopoly owners of #OSFHO spend $$$$ on lawyers & security but want to get rid of all nurses. Local 276 members asked #OwenSound city council to stand up for quality health care. They refused - if they keep refusing, people will remember in the October election. #onpoli #canlab

Striking #OSFHO workers get matching tattoos to tout their growing #solidarity. "It's a Celtic symbol for sisterhood," says Local 276 member Laurie Hills. "We've found our voices. We're stronger than ever!" #OwenSound #canlab #onpoli

A simple way for 1st responders to indicate their state of psychological ill health. Just by saying a colour. Brilliant. #Mentalhealth
