“We’re in a staffing crisis, we need more staff, staff are exhausted, they’re overwhelmed, they’re working short and it’s really difficult in this stressful time.”“In terms of the staffing, it’s not like they could give us an answer in the grievance hearing, that’s still an ongoing matter,” said CUPE 2309’s health-care coordinator Shannon McAteer in a phone interview.
