Ontario Health Workers Take a Stand Against Office Return

Workers at Ontario Health atHome have been doing their jobs remotely for years. This setup has been working well for both the employees and the people who need their services. But now, the government wants them to go back to the office. This is causing problems because there isn't enough space for everyone. The government's decision is affecting not just the workers but also the people who rely on these essential health services. Workers are upset because they have been doing their jobs well from home. They feel that the government is not considering the practical issues of forcing everyone back into the office.On January 5, 2026, workers plan to protest. They will take their lunch breaks outside to show their disagreement with the government's decision. They want to go back to the hybrid model that has been working well. This model allows them to work from home and in the office when needed. The protest will happen at different locations across Ontario. Workers will share their experiences with the media. They hope to make the government understand the problems caused by the return to office mandate.
