Long term care workers at Saint Vincent’s Nursing Home, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, were pleased to see their employer raise the issue of funding cuts in the Chronicle Herald last week.
“The medical director of Saint Vincent’s, Dr. Barry Clarke, reiterated what we have been saying for years,” says CUPE Long Term Care Committee Chair Louise Riley, “that nursing home staff are really struggling to give residents the quality of care they need and deserve, due to funding cuts and understaffing.”
