MEDIA ADVISORY: Home Support Workers to Rally in Sydney on Tuesday
Article content
SYDNEY, Nova Scotia — Home support workers represented by CUPE 3986, 3936, 4354, and 3953, will rally outside City Hall on Tuesday, with the support of delegates from CUPE Nova Scotia's annual convention. They are gathering to raise awareness for their ongoing bargaining, which has been ongoing for nearly two years despite Premier Houston's promise to 'fix' health care.

Most home support workers represented by CUPE have been without a collective agreement for the past four years. These workers are responsible for keeping seniors in their home longer, lifting some of the strain on the overburdened long term care sector, and helping acute care patients return home with the certainty they will continue to receive proper treatment. Home support workers are the backbone of the health care system, and they are fighting for guaranteed hours, improved health and safety language, and fair wages.
