“We know what reasonable shifts look like. We know what exemplary care looks like. And Community Living Port Colborne-Wainfleet isn’t living up to either,” says CUPE Local 2276 Vice President Cassie Bisson. “We’re so moved by the support we’ve received, from community members, from families, and from other workers. And we’re going to keep fighting for a deal that puts workers and the people we care for first.”
