The latest on the coronavirus: Advocates say COVID-19 limiting access to contraceptives, abortion; Ontario to release modelling data
In British Columbia, the provincial health officer has taken control of staffing at nursing homes in the Vancouver area for six months to guarantee equal pay to workers and ensure they don’t split their time between multiple facilities. “It’s been a challenge for a while, to be honest with you. [COVID-19] certainly has put an extra stresser on the system,” she said.
“We’re getting suppliers who are dropping supplies off on the road," said Ms. Duncan, whose group represents 70 per cent of Ontario’s 630 long-term care homes."They won’t even come up the steps.
She said there is a labour force looking for work that could help in homes with general care – anyone from dental hygienists to housekeepers to food handlers. On Thursday, CUPE Ontario members in the long-term care sector wore stickers on the job to protest what they see as second-class treatment when it comes to their access to personal protective equipment.Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott said Thursday that most front-line health-care workers haven’t asked for wage increases, but rather the equipment they need to do their jobs.
Why are female-dominated workers targeted for this 'offer'?
If Trudeau is smart enough, Canada should use its abundant sources such as grains and ethanol to exchange protectives with Taiwan and China. There is a rice and grains shortage looming in the world, especially in those populous countries. Australia has already been doing so.
Tough work. Low pay.
So sad!
