OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Members from the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750) are meeting today with Ottawa South MPP John Fraser to discuss the ongoing strike by 3,600 frontline staff at the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).

This meeting provides an opportunity to share firsthand the challenges facing WSIB workers, including stagnant wages, unsafe workloads, and the outsourcing of Ontario jobs. OCEU representatives emphasized the need for a fair deal that ensures quality public services for injured workers and job security for staff.

“We appreciate MPP Fraser taking the time to meet with our members and hear their concerns,” said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU/CUPE 1750. “We’re hopeful he’ll join MPPs like Chandra Pasma, Jamie West and Lise Vaugeois in urging the Minister of Labour to hold the WSIB accountable.”

The WSIB strike began on May 21, 2025, and is now entering its fourth week.
