The Society of United Professionals-Local 160 Pushes for COVID Measures that Keep Workers Safe

For more than a year, the Society of United Professionals-IFPTE Local 160 has been part of calls to improve workplace health and safety to stop virus transmission.

Particularly in the second and third waves of the pandemic, workplaces have been identified by public health experts as a leading source of infections in Ontario.

Among the many policies that the Society has called for is approving at least two weeks of permanent paid sick days to ensure every worker can afford to stay home if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, get tested, and improved access vaccines for essential workers.
