Unionized employees at two Extendicare long-term care facilities in Winnipeg have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action.
And CUPE - the union that represents the close to 350 employees at Extendicare's Oakview Place and Maples locations - says they expect to secure similar mandates at other Extendicare facilities in the province if the employer does not improve their offer
Bargaining is underway or is set to begin this fall at all nine Extendicare facilities in Manitoba, including two in Brandon.
The union says there is significant disparity between the wages and contracts of CUPE members working in Extendicare facilities and those working in publicly run long-term care facilities
