ParaMed home care workers are counting down to a strike deadline of January 27, 2023. ParaMed pays PSWs and HSWs $16.67 to $19.70 per hour.

ParaMed’s insulting offer during record inflation:

  • 8 cents/hour in year 1 to workers earning $16.67
  • Nothing at all for 3 years for workers earning $19.70

ParaMed is the largest home care corporation in Canada, owned by for-profit giant Extendicare. They got a 5% increase in government funding last year.

They can afford to pay a living wage.
