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.
We also carry out advocacy on behalf of our members and on behalf of hospital patients and long-term care residents across Ontario.
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.
