Negotiations are ongoing as the Monday deadline approaches
Community health and social service workers in Leeds and Grenville are facing a potential labour disruption as contract talks continue between local agencies and OPSEU/SEFPO.
Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Addictions and Mental Health says a strike could begin as early as Monday, May 25 at 12:01 a.m. if no agreement is reached.
The agency says high-priority services such as group homes, treatment homes and the HART Hub would continue during any disruption. Non-critical programs including case management, psychotherapy, drop-in services, recreation, vocational, family support, housing and administrative work would be paused.
All services remain operating for now while officials prepare updates, including a triage line and community supports if a strike occurs.
Earlier, “No Board” reports triggered a countdown toward possible strike action affecting 27 agencies and more than 4,500 workers across Ontario.
Negotiations are ongoing as the May 25 deadline approaches, with both sides seeking to avoid a strike this coming week in Ontario services.
