OCEU/CUPE 1750 Stands in Solidarity with UNIFOR Workers Locked Out at CN Tower

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE Local 1750), representing 3,600 striking WSIB frontline workers, reaffirms its strong support for UNIFOR Local 4271 members locked out at the CN Tower, owned by Canada Lands Company.

The ongoing lockout at WSIB — the first in its 110-year history — and the CN Tower lockout highlight a broader pattern of public sector employers abandoning their responsibility to frontline workers.

Earlier this week, OCEU members demonstrated their solidarity by joining UNIFOR workers in Toronto to show collective strength in the face of unfair labour practices. This action reflects the growing frustration among public sector employees with employers who refuse to bargain in good faith.

“Solidarity among workers is essential in the fight for fair treatment and respect in the workplace,” said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU/CUPE 1750. “We stand with all workers demanding fair wages, safe working conditions, and genuine negotiations.”

The ongoing lockout at WSIB — the first in its 110-year history — and the CN Tower lockout highlight a broader pattern of public sector employers abandoning their responsibility to frontline workers.

“Respectful, good-faith bargaining is essential,” added Goslin. “These workers keep critical public services running, and they deserve fair treatment.”

OCEU/CUPE 1750 thanks UNIFOR for its solidarity and pledges to continue supporting all workers fighting for dignity and fairness in their workplaces.
