TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) is shocked that new COVID-19 emergency measures announced today fail to include critical workers\u2019 protections including guaranteed paid sick days. This morning, Ontario health officials presented a harrowing picture of the COVID-19 trajectory which includes shrinking hospital spaces, and worsening long-term care conditions as case counts rise exponentially. Despite alarming modelling data, the Ford government continues to refuse advice from public health experts to implement paid sick days to curb the spread of the virus by ensuring that workers can stay home if they are sick.<\/p>\n

\u201cHealth experts have said loud and clear: paid sick days save lives,\u201d said Patty Coates, OFL President, \u201cit is appalling that Ford\u2019s government continues to refuse to act on this common-sense advice.\u201d Ford\u2019s refusal to introduce paid sick days comes after Toronto\u2019s top doctor called on the province to implement guaranteed paid sick leave yesterday, describing it as an \u201cessential\u201d protection.<\/p>\n

In addition to defying pleas to implement paid sick days from public health experts and ignoring the long-term care crisis, Ford\u2019s decision to keep the legislature in recess has paused debate on bills that aim to provide support through this crisis. Before the legislature adjourned in December, the OFL urged all-party support of the \u201cStay Home If You Are Sick Act,\u201d a Private Members Bill introduced by MPP Peggy Sattler. The Federation continues to urge Ford to resume the Ontario legislature to take action on important bills like Sattler\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the beginning of the pandemic there has been a disconnect between stay-at-home orders and the provision of adequate government protections for workers,\u201d said Coates, \u201cwe are well past the time for action, Ford\u2019s conservative government must step up, provide leadership and the protections that workers and communities need now.\u201d<\/p>\n
