CUPE long term care workers hold information pickets province-wide

HALIFAX, NS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- With their final day of conciliation scheduled for March 24, Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) long term care workers are holding 20 information pickets province-wide today to spread awareness about their bargaining priorities and the chances of an upcoming province-wide strike in the sector.

“Despite the weather, these workers are gathering together to show the government, their employers, and the general public that they are willing to fight for a contract that is fair because it acknowledges their vital role in the health care system, not just because Minister Adams claims it is,” said CUPE Long Term Care Coordinator Tammy Martin.

“Workers across the province are standing together today despite the snow and cold because they want the government and their employers to listen,” said CUPE Long Term and Community Care Chairperson Christa Sweeney. “We deserve fair pay and fully staffed workplaces—and so do our residents. That, to me, and thousands of long term care workers across the province, is worth fighting for.”
