Dear friends,

Today OCHU is releasing the attached reports on the shortfall in hospital funding that is leading to the elimination of thousands of positions across the province.

The independent FAO predicts the loss of almost 10,000 nurses and psw’s over the next 3 years.

We will be releasing this report in 15 media conferences across the province, part of a push to drive up funding. Another key part of this effort are MPP rallies scheduled in February and March Your local’s participation in these rallies is vital.

In solidarity,

Michael, Sharon and Kevin
