Letter: Risks to OPL workers

The article on the services provided during lockdown, by the Ottawa Public Library, in the April 2021 issue of The BUZZ, made no mention of the risks to the workers if these services were expanded, as was being requested.

For too long the Ford government put economic and other concerns ahead of workers’ safety from the pandemic. As a result the third wave has been much worse for them and their families than it needed to have been. OPL has done an excellent job in still providing some services while keeping their workers safe. To demand that they do more is completely unreasonable.
