Valley View Villa Joins the Strike

HALIFAX, NS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Long term care workers at Valley View Villa, represented by Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 2330, will hit the picket line this morning, joining 24 other long term care homes province wide. They will form picket lines with Maritime Odd Fellows workers at 739 E River Rd, New Glasgow.

“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.”
