CUPE to Address Funding Shortfalls, Staffing Crisis at CAS Toronto

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Now in a legal strike position, and with child welfare services under mounting strain, frontline workers at the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto are speaking out.

CUPE Local 2316 is once again sounding the alarm that workers are facing chronic understaffing, program cuts, and years of provincial underfunding have pushed child welfare services to a breaking point — putting children and families at risk.

At a press conference on Tuesday, February 17 at 12:30 p.m., union leaders will outline urgent concerns facing child protection services in Toronto and across Ontario and call on CAS Toronto and the Ford government to act before services are further destabilized.

WHO:

Aubrey Gonsalves, President, CUPE Local 2316
Yolanda McLean, Secretary-Treasurer, CUPE Ontario

WHAT:

Press conference on the child welfare staffing and funding crisis and the union’s legal strike position.

WHEN:

Tuesday, February 17
12:30 p.m.
