-related deaths, and 89 people have been infected with the novel coronavirus at the Parkview Place personal care home in downtown Winnipeg — the deadliest outbreak at any long-term care home in Manitoba since the start of the pandemic.The union that represents non-nursing staff — health-care aides, cleaners and others — filed a grievance this week over access to personal protective equipment and concerns about staffing.
“We’re in a staffing crisis, we need more staff, staff are exhausted, they’re overwhelmed, they’re working short and it’s really difficult in this stressful time.”“In terms of the staffing, it’s not like they could give us an answer in the grievance hearing, that’s still an ongoing matter,” said CUPE 2309’s health-care coordinator Shannon McAteer in a phone interview.
