CAW Members Picket Extendicare Head Office in Markham -Tomorrow
August 18th, 2010
CAW members will be demonstrating outside long term care provider Extendicare’s head office tomorrow, just north of Toronto, protesting the company’s refusal to negotiate a fair settlement.
The company broke off talks with the union on April 26 and workers have been without a contract since March 31. The demonstration is just one in a series of pickets organized by the union since talks ground to a halt.
“Our members are frustrated that this multi-million dollar company, a for-profit long term care home provider, is now crying poor when it comes time to compensate its staff,” said CAW President Ken Lewenza.
