Union leaders want the Premier to side with striking Port Arthur Health Centre workers.

The over-three-month-long strike was brought up outside Queen’s Park by Unifor and OPSEU leadership.

They feel Doug Ford shouldn’t give Ontario doctors a 15% fee increase while clinic workers demand higher pay.

Officials with both unions say they’re testing Ford’s commitment to helping “the little guy” by asking him to crack down on what they call “bad bosses”.
