A rally was held at Regina’s Pasqua Hospital to raise awareness about the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on health-care workers.
“We had hoped the provincial budget would have recognized the crisis on the front lines of health care, but unfortunately, we didn’t see any meaningful plans to address retention of existing health care staff,” CUPE 5430 president Bashir Jalloh said in a release. “We are also now seeing that most of the health investments in the budget are being directed to private health services rather than desperately needed investments to build up and fix our public health care system.
The main request is to implement a competitive wage and Jalloh said nurses are leaving Saskatchewan for higher wages in other provinces. Health-care workers at the rally said they plan to continue bargaining and having rallies until they come to an agreement with the province.Buzz kill?
