May 18, 2016 - 9:24am

PSAC welcomes workers from the the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Lesmill Lab, who were officially certified to join our union on May 16, 2016. These 92 new members work in Toronto in an I.T. facility owned by the OLG and have endured years of wage freezes.

The desire for better working conditions and concerns about an impending privatization motivated them to join our union.

Following the successful unionization of their colleagues in Sault Ste Marie, OLG Lesmill workers reached out to PSAC about a campaign of their own. Like non-union OLG workers across the province, those at Lesmill had their wages frozen for years.
