\"People<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the Ontario government to send the military into long-term-care homes, the Canadian Union of Public Employees says.<\/p>\n

With growing COVID-19 outbreaks in the province\u2019s care homes, \u201cWe are tragically losing the battle to protect long-term care residents,\u201d CUPE Ontario secretary-treasurer Candace Rennick said in a news release Saturday. \u201cThe homes and staff are on the verge of total crisis and collapse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The union is joining the Ontario Health Coalition in\u00a0asking the Ford government to send the military\u00a0<\/a>into the hardest hit homes, as it did during the first wave of the virus.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On Wednesday, coalition executive director Natalie Mehra said it was clear the measures the province had taken since the second wave of COVID hit Ontario were insufficient. \u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing is worse than anything I have ever seen in the homes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As of Jan. 1, Public Health Ontario reported 2,814 COVID deaths among residents of long-term-care homes and 11,217 total confirmed cases of the virus.<\/p>\n

In its release, CUPE said there were 187 homes in outbreak with 1,186 positive residents and 1,050 positive staff, although those figures are likely a day out of date.<\/p>\n

In a statement Wednesday night, the province insisted it is doing all it can to stem the second wave.<\/p>\n

CUPE said the PC government\u2019s efforts to reform long-term care were \u201clethargic and inadequate.\u201d And it also called military intervention \u201ca temporary solution to the worsening crisis caused by the government\u2019s failure to implement immediate and meaningful reforms needed months ago. This kind of crisis cannot continue to be met with half measures by the province.\u201d<\/p>\n

The union is asking the province to ramp up long-term-care reforms, including immediately ending the practice of keeping residents with COVID in the same facilities as uninfected residents; ensuring all staff are properly equipped; immediately increasing staff compensation and access to full-time jobs; providing paid tuition and compensation for training of long-term-care workers so additional staff can be trained and recruited more quickly; and ending the expansion of for-profit beds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the Ontario government to move immediately to enhance the working conditions for those providing care by providing stable, full-time employment,\u201d Debra Maxfield, chairperson of CUPE\u2019s Health Care Workers\u2019 Co-ordinating Committee, said in the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current model of 60 per cent of the workforce being casual and part-time has proven to be a disaster. A real recruitment program with tuition and paid training is urgently needed to bring the thousands of needed additional staff into the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an email to the Toronto Star, a spokesperson for Ontario\u2019s Minister of long term care outlines the other ways that the government has responded to the second outbreak.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore recently, long-term care homes in the GTA may now refer residents to the newly opened\u00a0Specialized Care Centre<\/a>. It is providing surge capacity for long-term care homes that are managing a COVID-19 outbreak or experiencing other challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Merrilee Fullerton argues that the government is addressing long-standing staffing challenges by launching \u201cone of the largest recruitment and training drives in the province\u2019s history\u201d that is expected to to provide an average of four hours of daily direct care for residents.<\/p>\n

As of Jan. 1, 2,814 residents of the province\u2019s long-term-care homes have died.<\/p>\n
