Our Story.

Who we are

United Health Care Workers of Ontario (UHCWO) started as a grassroots movement in a worker’s living room - we were “people collecting people.”

We now represent thousands of frontline health care workers. This includes nurses, physicians, PSW’s, paramedics and other health care providers, as well as administrative, professional and support staff. Our members come from 50 different regions across the province, including urban and rural/remote communities.

What we do
