Alternate Title
  • Hospital workers parade around Toronto Western Hospital today after a march on Queen's Park was postponed. The 600 striking workers earlier received letters from the hospital telling them they will be fired if they don't return to work tomorrow in the wake of an Ontario Labor Relations Board ruling that 14-day strike is illegal. The workers' union said it will ignore the threat and the board ruling.
