Looks like a Federal and a Provincial Election this year. Get your questions ready for the candidates. We need to make sure the working class and unemployed play a major role in both
Some time ago (years in fact) we discussed having an operating “Job Board” on our page for all field Reps. (or any staff for that matter) who had employment opportunities in their area. It would likely require a member access with password and maybe that is too complicated and that is why it never got off the ground. God knows that there aren’t a lot of places hiring these days but when it does happen, I even have employers asking me for that type of service. “Where do we go to find qualified people? – Trades people or not” An OPCM job board on our site could serve as avaluable asset for Reps, employers and most of all members.

March 4 SOS Cross-Province Day of Action
All across Ontario hundreds of hospital beds are being closed down,patients are lined up on stretchers in hallways, local services are being
cut and moved out of town, outpatient clinics are being privatized and home care and nursing home placements are severely rationed forcing many to wait a long time, pay for private care or go without.* It doesn’t have to be
this way.* Together, we can save our services by fighting back against the cutbacks. On March 4, communities across Ontario will hold a Day of Action to stand up against the cuts and to show support for their local hospitals
and health care services.
