An update on the negotiations of the CUPE/MGEU health care workers: a strike notice has been served.
On October 8th, thousands of healthcare support staff from the WRHA, Shared Health, Southern Health, and MGEU members in Prairie Mountain and Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority could commit to job action, if a new deal is not reached before then
According to statements on CUPE's website, no significant movement from the employer has been seen since Union members rejected the last offer in August.
CUPE's statement continues, saying they will continue to put pressure on the government to remind them that fixing health care starts with the front lines.
Both unions state that striking is always considered a last resort and that they remain hopeful to see a resolution before October 8th
