CUPE hates Extendicare – nov 29 – awd
The union representing 185 workers at Rainycrest Home for the Aged in Fort Frances fears a private management firm will cut services and jobs and lead to tax dollars being wasted.
Laura-lie Caldwell of CUPE local 65 believes the long term care facility must remain firmly in public hands.
Caldwell adds letting a private company take over management of the home is like letting a fox into a henhouse.
The Rainycrest Board of Directors is considering using Extendicare, a multinational corporation, to manage on an interim basis to get the financially troubled home in shape.
