CUPE Nova Scotia would like to Congratulate all CUPE members from Nova Scotia who were successfully appointed to a CUPE National Committee / Working Group / Task Force for the 2020-2021 Term!
Challenges remain for long-term care in Nova Scotia
“We haven’t seen much change,” says Louise Riley, a continuing care assistant who chairs CUPE’s Long-Term Care Committee. “We are still working short and we are still being mandated (i.e. forced by the employer) to work overtime. We have lots of people out sick or on Workers’ Compensation claims. We need more CCAs in nursing homes – period.” https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/news/provincial/international-hires-are-helping-but-challenges-remain-for-long-term-care-in-nova-scotia-412732/
