TORONTO, April 9, 2020 /CNW/ - OPSEU President Warren (Smokey) Thomas is demanding stronger leadership from Dr. Theresa Tam and Dr. David Williams in the handling of the COVID-19 crisis.

Key Points:

This is a very sad day, not only for the labour movement, but also for democracy in Canada.

Key Points: 
  • This is a very sad day, not only for the labour movement, but also for democracy in Canada.
  • It is sobering because what happened to President Dias on Monday could easily happen to anyone in the labour movement.
  • The Ontario Public Services Employees Union condemns the actions of the individuals who made the decision to arrest President Dias and six other Unifor members.
  • I am en route to Saskatchewan to lend support to President Dias and to speak out against this injustice.
