Hundreds of CUPE 5430 health care workers and supporters gathered at the Saskatchewan Legislature today to demand fair wages and respect for the frontline workers who keep the province’s health care system running.
Buses from across Saskatchewan brought workers from Prince Albert, Saskatoon, North Battleford, Yorkton, Estevan, Moosomin, and many rural communities. With signs, chants, and energy, the crowd sent a clear message: health care workers deserve better.
“Our members are the heart of the health care system but we are being overlooked and underpaid,” said Bashir Jalloh, president of CUPE 5430. “We show up every day for our patients. Today, we showed up for each other.”
