Stop YCH layoffs
Sign Now
Whereas the 47 layoffs announced Nov. 16 at York Central Hospital will affect various positions including Personal Care Assistants (PCAs), Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) Dialysis Assistants, and Food Services Attendants, setting in motion a chain of bumping and job loss, causing further chaos and uncertainty in our hospital;
And whereas this is the second round of layoff notices issued within the last nine months;
And whereas front-line and support staff have been hit with 100 per cent of all layoffs, while the hospital has been able to hire more managers;
And whereas south-central York Region, the area serviced by YCH, is among the fastest-growing regions in Canada, both in population and in wealth, with the hospital recently receiving $46.5 million for expansion; and needs more, not fewer front-line and support workers in health care.
We the undersigned, community members and staff petition the Legislative Assembly and YCH Board as follows:
That YCH stop laying off workers, stop creating fear and uncertainty in its work force, and provide the best possible health care services for the community;

This is a shame and is the continued effort of our goverment officals to destroy public healthcare. There are already enough shortages with support staff and once again the frontline is cut putting patients in danger and families

Hospitals are short enough staff as it is! The staff shortages are criminal. The Premier and his Cabinet should be the ones to be laid off

If YCH really cared about making sure our patients are cared for in the best way possible, they would give up a raise if they had to or cut the already top heavy Administration and management , not the already short staff front line

Lay off management and not the ones working in the trenches.
