Toronto – OPSEU/SEFPO’s leaders say the Ford government must address many unanswered questions surrounding its budget announcement to cut government jobs in the Greater Toronto Area. OPSEU/SEFPO President JP Hornick says it’s irresponsible to put a vague reference in the budget of a plan that will affect the lives of thousands of people. She also points out that most organizations in both the public and private sectors rely on the GTA as the biggest source of skilled professionals and the Ontario Public Service is no exception. “I hope this relocation plan isn’t a cloak for another round of privatization,” said Nancekivell. “The government’s hiring freeze has left so many vacancies that it’s affecting the delivery of quality public services,” said Hornick.
