"I'm shocked by the verbal abuse and baseless accusations that are being hurled at these community health workers by the doctors and managers at the Family Health Organization," said Almeida. "And now the doctors have hired high-priced Toronto lawyers to try to intimidate our members.
"I've got news for them: we won't be intimidated. And we won't back down until we've got a deal that ensures these workers are paid a decent wage for the important work they do keeping Owen Sound healthy."
