CUPE 3313 members work at the Central East Ontario Health atHome.

The Central East Ontario Health atHome has seven branches:

• Campbellford
• Haliburton
• Lindsay
• Port Hope
• Peterborough
• Scarborough
• Whitby

It is the result of the merger in 2007 of: Durham Access To Care, Haliburton, Northumberland and Victoria Access Centre, Peterborough Community Access Centre, and Scarborough Community Care Access Centre.

All employees became Public Servants in June of 2017 when we became the Central East LHIN. Since that time we have been employees of Ontario Health and most recently since June 2024 have been known as our current name , Ontario Health atHome (HCCSS).

When the Ministry of Health Reorganized Health Care in the Province of Ontario & introduced the LHINS in 2007, the CCAC’s were restructured to fall into the same geographical areas as the LHINS.  There had originally been 42 CCAC’s that were merged to form 14 CCAC’s.  Each of the original CCAC’s had their own unions in place ~ some had two; one for the clerical and another for the professional members.  With the formation of the new larger CCAC’s they may have been groups that had previously been served by as many as four unions.  It was a huge undertaking and each of the servicing unions held workplace campaigns & votes to determine who would continue to serve.  CUPE was the winner for the clerical staff at the Central East CCAC and we convinced CUPE Ontario to allow us to form our own local.  The name of our Local – 3313, is tied to the name “CCAC” – 3 representing the 3rd letter of the alphabet “C”, 3 – again representing the 3rd letter of the alphabet, 1 representing the 1st letter of the alphabet – A, and another 3, representing the 3rd letter of the alphabet again – C!  there you have it ~ 3313.

Our Local is serviced by our National Rep ~ Sharon Llewellyn.

Our Executive Team is made up of a group of dedicated professionals who work together to resolve issues on behalf of our members, each day.

Union solidarity is based on the principle that union members are equal and deserve mutual respect at all levels. Any behaviour that creates conflict prevents us from working together to strengthen our union.

As unionists, mutual respect, cooperation and understanding are our goals. We should neither condone nor tolerate behaviour that undermines the dignity or self-esteem of any individual or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.

Discriminatory speech or conduct which is racist, sexist, transphobic or homophobic hurts and thereby divides us. So too, does discrimination on the basis of ability, age, class, religion and ethnic origin.

Sometimes discrimination takes the form of harassment. Harassment means using real or perceived power to abuse, devalue or humiliate. Harassment should not be treated as a joke. The uneasiness and resentment that it creates are not feelings that help us grow as a union.

Discrimination and harassment focus on characteristics that make us different; and they reduce our capacity to work together on shared concerns such as decent wages, safe working conditions, and justice in the workplace, society and in our union.

CUPE’s policies and practices must reflect our commitment to equality. Members, staff and elected officers must be mindful that all sisters and brothers deserve dignity, equality and respect.
