Fire CAS
managers who waste money, says OPSEU
TORONTO – The Ontario
Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) says Children’s
Aid Society managers who waste money on expensive SUVs
and trips abroad should be fired.
“Our members are required
to account for every second of their day and every
dollar they spend. Why doesn’t this accountability
extend to management?” asked OPSEU President Leah
Casselman.
“The first job of these
workers is to protect vulnerable children. If they
cannot do this, either because CAS agencies are
underfunded, or because management is misallocating the
dollars they do have, then CAS management should be
fired.”
OPSEU represents more
than 2,000 CAS front-line and support workers across the
province including York Region, one of four CAS agencies
to be the focus of a value for money audit to be
released next week. OPSEU will comment in detail when
the report is released next week.
