The Ontario Public Service Employees Union wants the
McGuinty Government to invest an extra 60 million dollars
into the provincial Disability Support Program.
ODSP employees picketed across the province Tuesday, and
several gathered around the regional office in Kenora.
OPSEU Spokesperson Melissa Pearson says they are in
desperate need of the extra funding.

OPSEU believes the extra funding will help bring
caseload ratios in line with the national average.
In some situations income support specialists deal with
530 benefit claims, compared to the national average of
200 per person.
