As you know, the Ontario government announced a Pandemic Pay top-up of $4.00 an hour until August 12.
CUPE and OCHU have been lobbying hard at the Ministry of Health and Treasury Board and have expanded the list of facilities covered to all hospitals and all of long term care.
CUPE and OCHU have been lobbying the government also to expand the list of classifications covered to include clerical and administrative/maintenance/labs/pharmacy/stores/mdrd and others.
We have yet to see an updated list of classifications covered, we expect that to be released in the next few days.
Send a message to Premier Ford, and Hon. Ministers Christine Elliott and Peter Bethlenfalvy to show you support front-line health care workers.
