Watch, share, then fight for healthcare for all!
Along with @fairwagesnow we have been advocating for an end to sick notes for a long time... after the current government overturned the gain that was made under the previous government. Better late than never... sudbury.com/local-news/pro…
What happens when undocumented migrants don't have healthcare coverage? Watch emergency physician @bernarddho share what he's seeing in his practice 👇Thank you @labourcouncil for supporting calls for #HealthcareForAll
You have to read to the very last paragraph of this article to get to an important historical point: Ontario already "scrapped" sick notes back in 2018 - and far more effectively than now. But then Ford brought sick notes back (screenshot in next post). cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
In 2018, Doug Ford repealed the ban on sick notes which was in place before he took office. After six years of wasting everybody’s time, his government has decided to reinstate the ban on sick notes. While at it, why not listen to health experts and make #PaidSickDays a reality?…
Everything old is new again in Ontario. Yesterday, @SylviaJonesMPP triumphantly announced the end to a policy that @fordnation enacted, while ignoring the fact that her so-called #WorkingForWorkers government has voted against #PaidSickDays more than 20 times. 🤷♀️🤷♀️ #onpoli

They continue to make nurses work short-staffed. They don’t bother to replace sick calls with qualified staff. Patients wait endlessly for overworked nurses to get to them. It’s indeed a sad situation. No one cares about the physical and mental health of nurses who are…

Glad to see ON eliminating the need for a sick note when taking a sick day (a measure that was in place before but was repealed). Even better if workers had #PaidSickDays, like a growing number of jurisdictions. @DecentWorkHlth cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
It has taken 6 years of campaigning to get @fordnation to scrap his own decision renew this wasteful practice. Now, let's keep fighting for 10 paid sick days for all of us! #PaidSickDaysSaveLives #Justice4Workers.

SHOCKING facts about #healthcare in #Brampton, #Caledon, and #Ontario at large. #Privatization, #ohipForAll, and Brampton #hospital care. If you’re as shocked as we were, come to our #protest on Monday! #Bramptonhospital #SaveOHIP #onpoli #onhealth #ohip youtu.be/_sozrMLupnI
Paid sick days must be accessible: that means no sick notes. Legislating 10 permanent #PaidSickDays in the employment standards act would standardize this practice across #ONpoli and make our communities safer for everyone. #Justice4Workers finance.yahoo.com/news/doctor-al…
The federal government spent $111 million deporting our friends, coworkers, neighbours⚠️ whereas, this money could be better spent on healthcare, affordable housing, and education - things that impact the individual and collective health of our communities. #Justice4Workers

@JPHornick @PublicHealthON PHO workers are fighting back. They’ve collected roughly 9,000 signatures from members of their communities to stop the closures and more are coming in each day.
“Make no mistake, lives are at risk.” Today, OPSEU/SEFPO President @JPHornick & members working at @PublicHealthON Labs were at Queen's Park to sound the alarm about risks posed by the potential closure 6 out of 11 PHO labs #onpoli #onhealth Read more: opseu.org/news/short-sig…

WE ALREADY HAD THIS and the Ford Government reversed it. @SeanBawden even blogged about it! It involved a Seinfeld reference and everything. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
In 2018 we could tell employers to leave sick employees alone if they used their 10 personal days. Soon after Ford was elected and reversed the law. Now he's telling employees that they can provide self-attestations or meds receipts within 3 days of leave. This is not better
You have to read to the very last paragraph of this article to get to an important historical point: Ontario already "scrapped" sick notes back in 2018 - and far more effectively than now. But then Ford brought sick notes back (screenshot in next post). cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
A sick worker can easily miss more than 3 days in a single illness. Or be sick more than once in a year. Then I'm generally asked for 3 things: - a note for the employer - an HR form for the employer (oh yes, a note is often not enough) - an insurance form for short-term leave
And this is being sold as a reduction in primary care paperwork, not as a step to protect workers' rights, so perhaps that's why it's such a measley little change from the workers' health POV. But it's value to primary care is being oversold anyway. This will not help.
In 2018, Doug Ford repealed the ban on sick notes which was in place before he took office. After six years of wasting everybody’s time, his government has decided to reinstate the ban on sick notes. While at it, why not listen to health experts and make #PaidSickDays a reality?…
