  • Please enter keywords or a phrase to search on in the search box to the left, or select one or more search terms from the expandable drop down facets also on the left.

    A little guidance on keyword searching:

  • Use quotes to search for an exact word or set of words on a webpage. For example:
    “refuse dangerous work”
    This will bring back results that only contain the exact phrase.
     
  • You can require or exclude terms using the + and – sign. For example:

    CUPE + member rights 
    This will bring back results that contain both CUPE and member. 

    CUPE member - rights
    This will bring back results that contain the words CUPE and member, but it exclude results that contain the word rights.

Letter to Honourable Jane Stewart, Minister of Human Resources Development Canada and The Honourable Anne Mclellan, Minister’s Office – Health Canada

I am writing in support of the Canadian Labour Congress’ (CLC) Pilot Project for an EI training leave in the health care sector. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) represents more than 180,000 workers in hospitals, home care organizations, long term care, and other health care facilities across the country. These workers include, (but are not limited to), Home Health Care Aides, Nursing Assistants, Nurses Aides, Orderlies, Cooks, Registered Nurses, Licensed or Registered Practical Nurses, technicians, technologists and many other health care classifications. Health care is in desperate need of more trained staff. Our proposed pilot project is one way to tackle key human resource shortages in health care.
