Amidst an alarming rise in job vacancies, unprecedented ER closures, and thousands of patients dying waiting on surgical wait-lists, three major unions representing about 70,000 workers in Ontario’s hospital sector signed a Solidarity Pact to Save Our Public Hospitals “from further austerity and privatization” at Queen’s Park today.
Don’t fall for privatization, Canada, you end up with all the same problems of understaffing and long wait times, but now it’s more expensive.
Sincerely, An American healthcare worker
