Shifts that reach members through their union, not an agency.
Agencies make money by standing between healthcare workers and the facilities that need them. WorkersFirst changes that equation. The local connects qualified members directly to available shifts, employers reduce agency reliance, and the union strengthens the value it delivers to members. And this isn't a new staffing model asking a union to take a leap of faith, it's already operating inside SEIU Healthcare Ontario with real employers and real shifts.
Live with SEIU Healthcare in Ontario - members matched to long-term care shifts, with a fairness algorithm written by the local.

Isn’t this just another staffing agency?
No. Agencies make money by standing between members and the work. WorkersFirst is union-governed: the local sets the rules, holds the data and keeps the revenue. There’s no agency markup taken out of members’ pay.
Who controls our member data?
Your local does. Member data is never resold, and the local decides what employers can see.
Our staff are already stretched. Who runs this?
You go live in weeks, not months, with minimal IT. We handle the setup and records, and an admin console gives your local full oversight without a technical team.
What if the rollout goes badly in front of members?
You’re not the test case. The platform is already operating with SEIU Healthcare in Ontario, with real employers and real shifts.
Will this replace our staff or organizers?
No. It takes shift-filling and back-office work off their plates so organizers and stewards can spend their time on members, not paperwork.
