Saskatchewan health care workers send hundreds of postcards to Moe [Video]

Members of CUPE Health Care Workers of Saskatchewan met at the legislative building on Wednesday to deliver 1,800 post cards to Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe.

The postcards are from those within the union dealing with a variety of challenges both in the workplace and at home.

Bashir Jalloh, the President of CUPE Health Care Workers, said aside from unsatisfactory wages, the union members are being outnumbered and overworked at their jobs.

“People are doing multiple jobs, people are working overtime, people have cut down any form of leisure. People are struggling to put gas in their car,” he said.

Moe defended the human resources within the province’s health sector, including various places with incentives for hard to recruit places.

“We have expanded the scope and expanded opportunity to keep people retained, working in our health care system,” he said.
