Your Bargaining Committee has partnered with the CUPE Education department to offer Health Care Sector Strike Preparation Training to all Extendicare workers. While the idea of a strike may sound alarming or unexpected, it’s important to begin these basic conversations now.
Please understand that this is not an indication that we are heading into a strike position with Extendicare. Rather, it’s a proactive step in light of the challenges Healthcare unions are currently facing at the bargaining tables. Preparing for a potential strike is not something that happens overnight, but starting these conversations now is crucial for workers’ understanding and readiness.
To help facilitate this, we are offering two identical virtual sessions on August 11th. The goal of these sessions is to help break the ice and guide members through the fundamental aspects of strike preparation. A strike threat is a powerful tool at the bargaining table.
You will need to register in order to attend.
