Join the March and Protest on May 30th to save our Public Medicare

Share This Post

Brothers & Sisters,

The Fightback is On.

Either we save our public medicare now, or we are going to lose it.

Join the March and Protest on May 30th and send a message to the Ford government & Ontario’s Legislature that cannot be ignored.

In Toronto: Gather at 12 p.m. noon at the south side of Nathan Phillips Square across from the Sheraton, 123 Queen St. W. We will march to the Ontario Legislature at Queen’s Park which is in session — local Members of Provincial Parliament from across Ontario will be there.

For those that would like to join on the Bus leaving our Local Union Hall, sign up at our General membership meeting on April 21st or drop by the OAC Unifor learning centre and speak with the Unifor coordinator or trainers between April 22nd and April 26th, 2024.

The situation has never been more urgent.

The Ford government is dismantling public non-profit health care, closing local public hospitals’ emergency departments and other vital services. They are privatizing hospital care, long-term care, primary care and other services to for-profit corporations.

They are allowing for-profit clinics to charge patients hundreds — or even thousands — of dollars for needed medical care, in violation of our Public Medicare laws. Thousands of Ontarians are now being forced to pay out-of-pocket for access to health care.

Don’t let the Ford government destroy public health care.

Save our public health care & restore it so we can be proud of it again.
