Roseway Manor and LTC workers

This week, unionized health care workers got together in key locations for something called the "fight for fairness". And one location was especially relevant; Shelburne. Nan McFadgen is the President of CUPE Nova Scotia, representing around 19-thousand public service sector members, including staff at Roseway Manor. The long-term care facility that used to be operated by three municipal units may end up being taken over by a for-profit operator. And that isn't sitting well with a community group called Protect Our Seniors that wants to see local, not-for-profit ownership. McFadgen reflects on why this is an important grassroots movement and what can be done to support the community group. She also discusses the imbalance that was created when one group of well deserving health care workers received a 20 percent wage hike and other support staff are left to negotiate for something similar.
