“Even 4 days into a province-wide strike, Minister Adams is insistent that their offer is strong and competitive. I think over 2,000 striking workers, with more to come, is a very clear message that we disagree,” said CUPE Long Term and Community Care Committee Chair Christa Sweeney. “Long term care workers deserve a living wage and we’re going to stay on the line until their offer brings us closer to that.”
