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 we 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 return to work today, July 7, 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.
