WSIB Workers Deliver Petition and Letter to Board of Directors as Strike Enters Second Month

Article content TORONTO — On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, striking members of the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750) will deliver a formal letter and petition to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Directors, demanding urgent action to end the ongoing labour dispute that has left more than 3,600 frontline workers off the job for over a month. Article content If the employer had confidence in its offer, it should table their best offer and allow workers to vote. Instead, it continues to halt the process, exposing a deliberate strategy of delay using workers of this province as pawns. Article content The letter, addressed to WSIB General Counsel David Luther, outlines serious concerns with the employer's handling of negotiations, including delays, refusal to table a final offer, violations of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIA), and unlawful retaliation against workers exercising their right to strike. It calls on the Board to immediately intervene and hold WSIB leadership accountable. Article content Accompanying the letter is a petition signed by hundreds of striking workers across Ontario, urging the Board to bring negotiations to a fair and timely conclusion. The petition calls on WSIB to deliver immediate workload relief and fair wages, and to respect the collective bargaining process. Article content 'WSIB leadership has failed to bargain in good faith, failed to address dangerous workload levels, and failed to uphold the law,' said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU/CUPE 1750. 'That's why we're taking this message directly to the Board. They have the power — and the responsibility — to step in and stop the damage being done to injured workers, frontline staff, and Ontario's economy.'
