Striking Workers at Villa Colombo Get Support From the Society of United Professionals
The Society of United Professionals added their union to the growing list of supportive organizations, unions, and community members who want to see a fair deal for the members of CUPE 5525. In a letter addressed to the directors of Villa Colombo and Villa Charities, the Society of United Professionals calls on the employer to end their use of scab labour and return to the table with an offer that respects the skill and dedication these workers bring to their roles.
At issue for the union members are fair pay, sick days, and a benefits package that will enable these workers to provide the best care possible for the residents of the buildings they service. The employer's proposal contained significant concessions to the working conditions of these workers.
