OCEU/CUPE 1750 President to Join Pickering Picket Line as WSIB Strike Hits One-Month Mark
PICKERING, Ontario, June 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the historic strike by Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) workers reaches the one-month mark, Harry Goslin, President of the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750), will join the picket line in Pickering tomorrow, June 19 at 10:00 a.m., in a show of solidarity with members demanding a fair contract, mental health protections, and an end to unsafe workloads. The picket will take place outside the constituency office of Ontario's Minister of Finance, Peter Bethlenfalvy, sending a clear message to the Ford government that it must step up and ensure WSIB returns to the table with a deal that respects workers. Where: 1550 Kingston Rd., Pickering, ON (Constituency Office of Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy) Time: 10:00 a.m. "Our members have been walking the line for a month - not because they want to, but because they have to," said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU/CUPE 1750. "They're standing up for fairness, for their mental health, and for the public services that injured workers rely on. It's time for WSIB to deliver a real deal." Goslin's visit follows the release of a follow-up survey by the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW), which shows WSIB staff are reporting anxiety and depression at more than twice the national average. The independent data highlights crushing workloads, toxic management, and a culture of denial as major drivers of burnout at WSIB. WSIB staff represented by OCEU/CUPE 1750 have been on strike since May 21, fighting chronic understaffing, stagnant wages, and the outsourcing of Ontario jobs to U.S.-based firms. This is the first strike in WSIB's 110-year history, with more than 3,600 workers off the job across the province. mb/cope491 View source version on Contacts For more information, please contact: Bill ChalupiakCUPE Communications Representativewchalupiak@ 416-707-1401 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
