More than 3,000 members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) rallied at the Ontario legislature April 5 to oppose the government’s concession demands. More than 33,000 members of OPSEU who work in government offices went on strike March 13. The government is demanding cuts in benefits and pensions. The union is seeking higher wages, an end to contracting out union jobs, and that thousands of "temporary" and "casual" workers employed doing similar jobs on contract, often for years, be offered full-time jobs.
