When I was the President of my local union, CUPE 3393, I learned that in addition to engaging in unpaid care work, many of our PSWs were hired through a temp agency and made minimum wage. This is an important report that looks at inequity in care work: www.socialplanningtoronto.org/carework

Yes and it's ridiculous. QC has stopped using private agencies in 5 regions and expects the affected nurses and PSWs to transfer back to the public system - because it's unjustifiably expensive. But Dofo's ignoring that altogether!

Of course there will still be wait lists. Because you treat RNs, RTs, PTs, PSWs, and all staff poorly, you still won’t have enough staff to make this a success. A surgeon is only one part of a surgical journey.
