Dear editor:
There aren’t enough cooks or continuing care assistants in long term-care. There aren’t enough licensed practical nurses or medical technologists in acute care. There are simply not enough health care workers in Saskatchewan’s broken health care system.
It is common for all health care facilities to be short staffed. It happens every single day. This negatively impacts patient and resident care. It also impacts health care workers who must make do, working short every day. They are exhausted, burned out, and frustrated because they can’t provide the care that their patients and residents need.
CUPE Local 5430 has set up criteria for five (5) scholarships of $500.00 each for CUPE member(s) or a child of a CUPE member or a dependent (as determined by Revenue Canada). One member or dependant shall be selected from their respective Region to receive one $500 scholarship.
Each January, 3sHealth Employee Benefits performs an eligibility measure for all other-than-full-time employees. This year’s measure will determine if an employee is eligible for coverage effective January 1, 2023 based on the hours they worked from January 1 to December 31, 2022. An employee must work a minimum of 780 hours in the complete calendar year to be eligible for benefits. The annual measure will run on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 and the eligibility results will be available Wednesday, January 11, 2023. For the employers who subscribe to 3sHealth payroll, a benefits bulletin will be sent to you to advise when the results are ready for your review. For those employers who do not subscribe to 3sHealth payroll, 3sHealth will start sending the eligibility results to you on Wednesday, January 11, 2023.

Dear Valued Member:
Your bargaining committee has just completed five membership meetings where we presented our proposal package. We recognize that on the heels of the holidays it is a difficult time to add in a union meeting, however, your support and participation are critical for our success at the bargaining table.
We would like to thank all those who attended. Your thoughtful feedback is invaluable as we work towards finalizing our proposals.
The bargaining committee has received an overwhelming endorsement for the proposals presented.
If you were unable to attend a presentation, please reach out to your local office. Your bargaining committee is committed to continuous, open communication with the membership; therefore, we would be happy to schedule more meetings in the new year to inform those who couldn't join us this time around.
