The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) announced a tentative agreement was reached with the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU). WSIB workers returned to work July 7 following a strike that started on May 22. It was the first strike in the organization’s 110-year history.
“Our number one priority has always been—and continues to be—helping the people who depend on us,” said Jeff Lang, president and CEO of the WSIB. “We do work that makes a difference in people’s lives and in our communities. I am proud of our team’s work the last few weeks and am very excited for everyone to come back together so we can keep supporting Ontarians who need us.”
“I am proud of my coworkers and the strength of our union, we are a critical safety net for Ontario workers and Ontarians spoke up, sending thousands of messages to the WSIB leadership,” said Harry Goslin, president of OCEU/CUPE 1750. “Together, we were able to secure the best possible outcome and we successfully pushed back against the employer’s attacks on union seniority rights.” The union remains concerned about what it calls ongoing anti-union measures being pursued by the Ford government and says it will remain vigilant in defending workers’ rights and fair bargaining processes.
