Re-tool Oshawa GM Complex to Combat Covid-19

Manufacturing worker and healthcare worker representatives call for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford to immediately order the production of essential medical equipment and supplies at the Oshawa GM complex and related parts supplier facilities. This should be the first step toward establishing a publicly owned manufacturing centre that could supply strategically necessary goods in times of crisis.

On April 6, Ontario’s Premier told healthcare staff fighting COVID-19 that following next week, they will be left exposed, without the personal protections needed to keep them from getting infected.

Speakers:

• Patty Coates, President, Ontario Federation of Labour
• Michael Hurley, President of the Hospital Division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE)
• James Hutt, The Leap
• Tony Leah and Rebecca Keetch, Green Jobs Oshawa
