“Our members are reporting one of two things, they're either being told, ‘Stay at home. We can't accommodate you in the office,’” AMAPCEO President Dave Bulmer said in a recent CBC article.

Responses to AMAPCEO members’ remote work AWA requests have begun to trickle in, but with over 6K requests submitted, the current responses from the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism represent a measly 1% of that number.

Remote work isn’t just a workplace preference. It’s a proven tool that supports work-life balance, reduces gridlock, and lowers costs for Ontarians already struggling with affordability.

Visit amapceo.ca/email to learn more.

We also want to thank some of our members who wrote messages during our Blue Monday coordinated break today. We share their frustration because we know that remote work works, and reviewing alternative work arrangements (AWA) requests has been routine business.

The OPS Employer and the Secretary of Cabinet think they can wear us out, quiet us down, and make us go away. They thought that before. Now they are drowning in AWA requests, negative media attention, and legal challenges. They under estimated us back in August—and we showed them just how strong we are. Together, we will show them once again just how wrong they are.

“It has been a year in which we faced an employer determined to violate our rights and insult our status as professionals capable of working for Ontario from anywhere.”

Take a moment to read President Dave Bulmer’s message as he reflects on the past year: buff.ly/4a18AQH

“The office I work out of has an opposite problem to the most recent posts—desks equipped with NOTHING.”

Under the abrupt return-to-office edict, we are returning to unsuitable workspaces that lack equipment to help us do our jobs.
