Long-term care workers at Glen Haven Manor, represented by CUPE 2330, are expected to hit the picket lines at 7AM on May 27, bringing the total number of striking workers to approximately 3,600. They will be picketing at Glen Haven Manor, 739 E River Rd, New Glasgow.
“For 7 weeks, these workers have been providing essential care for 8, 12 hours a day, and then marching in picket lines because they believe in what we’re fighting for,” said CUPE Long-Term and Community Care Committee Chair Christa Sweeney.
“Despite what Premier Houston and Minister Adams are saying in the media, the workers know what the government has offered just like they know they deserve better,” said Sweeney.
CUPE long-term care workers have been on strike since April 13.
