Stretcher Tour Schedule
We can’t ignore the health care crisis!
In an effort to publicize the need for additional beds and staff and funding for our hospitals and long-term care facilities, OCHU is traveling across the province to 30 communities, with a number of hospital stretchers, along with pull-up banners with stats, which we use as a backdrop for media conferences calling on all parties to address the crisis in health care.
OCHU/CUPE is dedicated to sharing the stories of our members and our predecessors with monthly newsletters and labour history articles.
