WSIB Rejects Unions Latest Offer

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After hearing nothing from the employer for over a week, the union and employer met to exchange proposals, but remain far apart on wages, workload, and employer cuts to seniority rights. The union has made significant movements to try and find a fair compromise, but after significant setbacks, the mediator made the decision to call-off the mediation.

OCEU is deeply disappointed that the employer rejected our proposal and hasn’t presented their own in over a week. The union amended our proposal in the spirit of negotiation to bring the employer closer to addressing the workload issues which are impacting our members health and well-being. Despite our reasonable offer, the employer still refused to counter our proposal.

OCEU/CUPE 1750 remains available to negotiate but needs to see a meaningful move by the employer to meet our members core needs. Picket lines will continue until a fair deal is reached.
