SUDBURY, Ontario, June 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the strike by Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) workers stretches into its fourth week, Harry Goslin, President of the Ontario Compensation Employees Union (OCEU/CUPE 1750), will join the picket line in Sudbury on Tuesday, June 17 at 12:30 p.m., to support members in their push for a fair contract and safer working conditions. Goslin will speak directly with striking workers and deliver remarks, sending a clear message to WSIB leadership and the Ford government that frontline workers deserve better. Where: 1465 Kingsway, Greater Sudbury Time: Picket line runs from 10:00 a.m.-2 p.m. President Goslin joins at 12:30 p.m., June 17th. "Our members have been crystal clear: they want to get back to work, but not under conditions that are breaking them down," said Harry Goslin, President of OCEU/CUPE 1750.

"In Sudbury and across the province, they’re standing up for fairness, for mental health, and for the quality public services that injured workers depend on. It’s time for WSIB to come to the table ready to deliver." Goslin’s visit comes just days after the release of a follow-up survey conducted by the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW), which found that WSIB staff are experiencing anxiety and depression at more than twice the national average. The independent survey points to crushing workloads, toxic management, and a culture of denial at the top as key drivers of burnout across the organization. WSIB staff represented by OCEU/CUPE 1750 have been on strike since May 21, fighting back against chronic understaffing, stagnant wages, and the outsourcing of Ontario jobs to U.S.-based firms. This marks the first strike in the WSIB’s 110-year history, with over 3,600 workers off the job province-wide.
