held tomorrow, June 4th, at The Village Seniors Long Term Care Home in

Media
Release-Thursday June 4, 10 am to 2 pm, workers at The Village Seniors
LTC (Long Term Care) Home in Hanover, will be holding an information
picket. Healthcare and support workers from Unifor Local 1106 and nurses
from ONA are speaking out publicly about staffing cuts and layoffs that
will greatly impact resident care in the nursing home.After Covid, The
Village Seniors Community by Revera, was quietly sold to Extendicare,
and in May 2025 Southbridge bought only the nursing home portion of the
multi-level care facility.
No one knows what future plans Southbridge
has for the 53 Long Term Care beds but their decision to reduce staff
and eliminating jobs will greatly affect the residents who live
there.There will be no more homemade soups or Christmas cookies and
squares.Frozen foods will be heated and served with a dietary staff that
will be reduced by 60%.The Personal Care Assistant position (created
during Covid to assist PSWs with lifts, portering, feeding) and the Bath
Shift position will be eliminated. PSWs will be required to bathe or
shower assigned residents (previously done by a person who solely did
the tub/shower bathing), and pour drinks at mealtime (previously a
dietary aide task) on top of the care, meals, etc and finding time to do
documentation. Due to the elimination of the Bath Shift, the task of
foot care will be done by a RPN on staff and the resident will be
charged a $30 fee for foot care.
Staff whose jobs are eliminated and
are unable to bump into another job or category are offered the minimum
severance required under the Employment Standards Act.There are staff
who have spent their entire working lives caring for residents at this
home, some for close to 45 years. Minimum is not enough for staff!
Minimum is not enough for residents! Please come show your support to
these workers on Thursday June 4, 10 am to 2 pm. The Village LTC is
located at the west end of Hanover at 101 10th St.Better Staffing equals
Better Care! Residents Deserve Better! For more information,

AS
A RESIDENT LIVING HERE AT THE VILLAGE IN HANOVER. ITS BEEN A LITTLE
CRAZY SINCE MAY 25TH WHEN THE NEW JOB CUTS AND SHIFT CHANGES CAME INTO
AFFECT. I NEVER EVEN KNEW ABOUT THIS PICKET TILL THIS MORNING. WHEN
ANOTHER RESIDENT SAID TO ME ARE YOU GOING TO PICKET WITH ME OUT FRONT
TODAY. I SAID SURE.I WILL BE THERE JUST AFTER 10 AM. I THINK IT WAS A
MONTH OR SO WHEN 2 WORKERS DID MENTION THERE WAS GOING TO BE A PICKET
OVER THE CUTS AND JOB LOSSES AT SOME POINT. BUT I JUST REALIZED THIS
MORNING IT WAS OUT AT THE ROAD WERE I LIVE AT THE VILLAGE. SO FROM ABOUT
10.15AM TILL NOON I WAS OUT AT THE ROAD WITH THE WORKERS HERE. THE ONA
(ONTARIO NURSES ASSOCIATION) AND THE UNIFOR LOCAL 1106 WORKERS.THERE HAD
TO BE 50 OR 60 PEOPLE OUT THERE PICKETING INCLUDING ME. I WENT ON THE
ROAD. PARKED AND HAD 3 FLAGS. ONE IN EACH HAND AND A BIG RED ON ON THE
BACK OF MY WHEEL CHAIR. LOTS OF CARS, TRUCKS WENT BY. I WAS TRYING TO
GET THEM TO TOOT THEIR HORN. AS WELL AS OTHER WORKERS. I LOVED THE DANCE
MUSIC BEING PLAYED IN THE BACK ROUND. THAT LIVEND ME UP ALSO. ONE NICE
WORKER EVEN GOT ME AN ICE CREAM SANDWICH TO MUNCH ON. THAT SURE WAS NICE
OF HER. AND A WATER JUG TO. WELL ME AND THE REST OF THE PEOPLE HAD A
GREAT TIME TRYING TO SAVE THE JOBS. AND FROM CUTTING FULL TIME TO PART
TIME OURS. AND ELIMINATING JOBS COMPLETELY. AND IT IS HURTING US
RESIDENCES ALSO. NOW THEY HAVE ONLY SO MANY RESIDENCES TO ONE WORKER.
AND THATS HARD ON THE PSWS. SINCE THERES ONE OR 2 SHORT NOW. AND THE
NURSES AND PSW'S HAVE TO DO SO MUCH MORE WORK. NOT ONLY THAT. BUT SOME
HAD THE COLD GING AROUND. AND THE COOKES AND COFFEE SERVERS WERE GOING
CRAZILY BUSY AS WE WERE IN OUR ROOMS FOR A WEEK. EVEN THOUGHT THERE WAS
LESS WORKERS. WE STILL GOT ALL 3 MEALS ON TIME. WHAT THESE WORKERS
SHOULD GET IS DOUBLE PAY FOR THE HOURS THEY WORK.SINCE THERE HOURS ARE
CUT SO MUCH.THEN THEY COULD MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF PAY EVEN THOUGH THEY
WORK HALF THE HOURS.THANKS TO UNIFOR LOCAL 1106 AND THE ONTARIO NURSES
ASSOCIATION. FOR TRYING TO GET THE JOBS BACK AND HOURS ADDED AGAIN.
Nursing
Homes Workers Host Province-wide Pickets to Demand Respectful New
Collective Agreement from Corporate Employers-June 4, 2026
TORONTO,
ON, Thursday, June 4, 2026 – Nurses and health-care professionals at
more than 47 nursing homes across the province are hosting information
pickets to raise awareness about their demands for fair wages, benefits
and safe working conditions in their new collective agreement. The new
agreement will impact more than 4,400 Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA)
members, who provide round-the-clock, comprehensive and complex care to
residents in for-profit long-term care homes.“Our members have made it
absolutely clear that they cannot continue to provide high-quality care
without a respectful agreement that addresses their bargaining demands,”
says Erin Ariss, registered nurse and ONA Provincial President. “For
years, for-profit nursing homes employers have diverted funds away from
residents and front-line workers to line the pockets of shareholders.
This must end.”Nurses working in long-term care are paid 10 per cent
less than those who work in hospitals, despite providing similar levels
of care. Some nurses and health-care professionals even work two jobs
just to make a livable income. This wage discrepancy often results in
workers leaving long-term care to work in other higher paying sectors.
The staff who remain end up with unreasonable workloads and unsafe
working conditions.ONA members are demanding wage parity with hospitals
and safer working conditions such as staffing ratios so that they can
provide the high-quality care residents rely on.“The money for fair
wages and safer working conditions exists. Look no further than
Extendicare, which reported a whopping $96 million in profits last year,
or Southbridge Care Homes which receives public funding and doesn’t
even report their profits to the public. Corporations have more than
enough money to ensure that staff are paid fairly for the high-quality
care they provide,” explains Ariss. “But it all comes down to
priorities. Employers need to remember that without fair wages, benefits
and safe working conditions they will not be able to retain staff. And
without highly skilled nurses and health-care professionals, there is no
care for residents.”“These province-wide information pickets showcase
the urgency our members feel to negotiate a good deal that serves their
residents, coworkers and communities. Respect can’t wait. Nursing homes
CEOs must stop the greed and finally put care over profits.”ONA is the
union representing 68,000 health-care professionals, along with 18,000
nursing student affiliates, who provide care in hospitals, long-term
care facilities, public health, community settings, clinics, and
industry.-30-To arrange an interview, contact:ONA Media Relations,

Thousands rally at Queen’s Park to defend public
health care-Unifor members pose for photo in front of large crowd
holding signs about protecting public health care.June 3, 2026
Unifor
joined thousands of health care and social service workers, patients,
union allies, and advocates in a march from union station to Queen’s
Park on May 28, where they held a massive protest to demand urgent
action to protect and strengthen Ontario’s public health care system.A
huge crowd rallies in front of Queen's Park during the OHC health care
rally.“The strength of our public health care system comes from the
workers who deliver care and their commitment to patients, families, and
communities,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “Our members
know that the public system is absolutely worth fighting for and are
mobilizing to protect and strengthen it for generations to come.”The
rally, organized by the Ontario Health Coalition, brought together
supporters from across the province to oppose privatization, address
staffing shortages, and call for increased public investment to ensure
Ontarians across the province have access to the care they need, when
they need it.Unifor Ontario Regional Director Samia Hashi poses for
photo with two Uniformed leaders wearing red and waving Uniformed
flags.“This past week Unifor lobbied here at Queen’s Park to demand
better from this government,” said Unifor Ontario Regional Director
Samia Hashi. “Health care and social services workers are bearing the
brunt of chronic underfunding and policy decisions that are making it
harder to deliver the quality care Ontarians deserve. Workers are
exhausted, patients are waiting longer, and communities are paying the
price.”Unifor hosted a Health Care and Social Services Lobby Week from
May 25-28, where frontline workers from across Ontario met with elected
officials at Queen’s Park to call on the provincial government to
address chronic underfunding, unsafe workloads, staffing shortages, and
the growing expansion of private, for-profit health care.Two Uniformed
members smile while at rally and holding red Unifor flags.Unifor
represents more than 35,000 health care and social services workers
across Canada, including members working in hospitals, long-term care
homes, retirement homes, home care, emergency medical services, and
community-based social services.The union recently launched the Care
Can’t Wait campaign to push for safe staffing, stronger public services,
an end to privatization, and meaningful investments in frontline
workers as part of its fight for a health care system that prioritizes
patients, workers, and quality care over corporate profit.
