“We Are Fighting for Respect and Fairness:” Clerical Staff at Mount Sinai to Rally on Tuesday Morning

Staff are demanding the hospital negotiate a contract that offers fair wages and better working conditions

On Tuesday morning, led by Fadumo Mohamed, the CUPE 5492 president, the workers intend to send a strong message to the hospital: management needs to address their concerns. For a start, they want the hospital to negotiate a new contract (the old one expired in February 2023) that helps them achieve parity with other hospital workers in the region, and addresses workload issues.

Michael Hurley, president of OCHU-CUPE

Fadumo Mohamed, president of CUPE 5492, representing clerical workers at Mount Sinai Hospital

 

What:

A rally for fair wages and respect for clerical workers at Mount Sinai
