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.
Founded in 1982, the 40,000 member Ontario Council of Hospital Unions/CUPE is the hospital division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees in Ontario.
We represent hospital service workers, registered practical nurses, housekeeping, trades, clerical staff, and ambulance and paramedical personnel.
OCHU/CUPE bargains a provincial collective agreement for these CUPE Ontario members with the Ontario Hospital Association and lays that pattern down across the hospital sector and long-term care facilities that have a relationship with a hospital.

OCHU/CUPE is an active partner with the Ontario Healthcare Coalition and works closely with the Ontario Healthcare Coalition whenever community health services are threatened with cuts or privatization.
