I am so grateful to our care workers and to the members of SEIU for the work you do every day. President Biden and I will continue to work to make sure you have the pay and support you deserve.

ICYMI: This is a big deal for the care industry!

The Biden-Harris administration set new minimum standards for nursing homes, and a path to better wages for care workers. This move will significantly enhance care quality. #CareWeek

Congratulations to the 65,000 Ontario hospital workers who were awarded a 6% wage increase, benefit improvements, and more in their new contract!

This past fall, along with Unifor, OCHU-CUPE and SEIU Healthcare proposed to bargain jointly with the Ontario Hospital Association…

🎉VICTORY NEWS! Ontario hospital workers will receive a six per cent wage increase over two years. This is big news for hospital workers who change and save lives every day.

Perhaps it helps if we put this into bumper sticker slogans a politician can understand:

👏Raise the wage
👏Hire the staff
👏Fix the care

Despite misleading spin from the province, frontline #healthcare workers know care conditions are getting worse not better.

Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into 2024 the average woman must work to have earn what the average man did in 2023.

Today and every day, we stand up and fight back against anyone who tries to deny working women what they deserve #PayEquityNow

Care workers are taking note and keeping the record straight! Pro-worker leaders CAN and WILL fight alongside caregivers as we make change across the economy! #TheCareEconomy

For the first time, the Ontario government admits that hospitals have charged patients who refuse to move into a long-term care home not of their choosing, under a law brought in by Doug Ford's PCs in 2022.

Care workers work so the rest of us can work, too.

They care for children, seniors and many of our family and friends who need the help. But so many are overworked and under appreciated.

Today is a good day to say ‘Thank you’.

It’s #NationalCaregiverDay .

The program promised in 2021 is finally here.

When the federal Liberals put it into the mandate letters, Canada was the only G7 nation and 37th out of the world's 41 richest nations without a national school food program.

This is a true legacy move.

Month of Care begins with powerful ⁦The White House⁩ Proclamation on Care Workers Recognition Month, 2024

Read every word. #CareCantWait

An oddly high level of “benefit of the doubt” for a Minister of Health to give private, for-profit clinics.

Patients need a watchdog on their side who has their best interest at heart, not someone who downplays their mistreatment to defend business interests.
