CUPE 5525 Members Receive Support From the Ontario Nurses Association as Strike Drags on at Villa Colombo

Article content TORONTO — Striking workers from the Villa Colombo Supportive Housing Unit are thankful that their struggle isn't going unnoticed by the wider labour movement. These personal care workers are members of CUPE 5525 and have been on the picket line since May 28 th outside the care residences, operated by Villa Colombo Home for the Aged and Villa Charities at Dufferin and Lawrence. Article content The Ontario Nurses Association added their union to the growing list of supportive organizations, unions and community members, who want to see a fair deal for the members of CUPE 5525. In a letter addressed to the directors of Villa Colombo and Villa Charities, the ONA calls on the employer to end their use of scab labour and return to the table with an offer that respects the skill and dedication these workers bring to their roles. Article content Article content 'Rather than bargaining a fair deal, you are paying staffing agencies to provide scab labour at a higher rate than you pay your own workers. That is shameful and has resulted in sub-standard care in your homes. Your residents have shared their unhappiness with replacement workers who are not trained or certified to the standards of CUPE 5525 members.' Article content ONA's Provincial President, Erin Ariss and Regional Vice President, Karen McKay-Eden, along with members of the ONA, reinforced the CUPE 5525 picket line and provided lunch for the striking workers. Article content At issue for the union members are fair pay, sick days, and a benefits package that will enable these workers to provide the best care possible for the residents of the buildings they service. The employer's last proposal contained significant concessions to the working conditions of these workers.

OCEU/CUPE 1750 Members Vote Yes to Ratify Tentative Agreement

TORONTO, July 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750) is pleased to announce that its members have voted to accept the tentative collective agreement negotiated by their bargaining committee. "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 successfully pushed back against the employer's attacks on union seniority rights." This strike was a historic moment for our union and the broader labour movement. We thank our members for their unwavering commitment and courage, the public for their understanding, and our fellow unions for their solidarity and support throughout this challenging fight. As members prepare to return to work on Monday, July 7, 2025, the union remains steadfast in its commitment to protect workers' rights and health. OCEU/CUPE 1750 will continue to stand in solidarity with other public sector unions currently negotiating collective agreements. The union remains concerned about the ongoing anti-union measures being pursued by the Ford Government and will remain vigilant in defending workers' rights and fair bargaining processes. mb/cope491 View source version on Contacts For more information, please contact: Bill ChalupiakCUPE Communications Representativewchalupiak@ 416-707-1401 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
