OW cheques and the Rotating Postal Strike

Make no mistake -- this blog writer is PRO-union and I support my CUPW Brothers and Sisters!

In anticipation of a national postal strike, the City of London has mailed out June Ontario Works cheques. For people who receive their Ontario Works payments through direct bank deposit, payments will continue as usual.

In the event of a strike, Ontario Works recipients are still required to report income and changes to their circumstances. Recipients can pick up and drop off the necessary reporting forms at the Ontario Works Office.

Information can also be dropped off at the following locations:
     -- Market Tower, 151 Dundas St.;
     -- South London Community Resource Centre, 1119 Jalna Blvd.;
     -- Glen Cairn Community Resource Centre, 150 King Edward Ave.;
     -- Carling Heights Community Centre, 656 Elizabeth St.;
     -- North London Optimist Centre, 1345 Cheapside St.;
     -- Canada Games Aquatic Centre, 1045 Wonderland Rd. North

Ontario Works clients with questions or concerns can contact their caseworker or phone 519-661-4520.
