(Regina) A newly proposed Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) whistleblower hotline is being met with scepticism and criticism from Saskatchewan’s largest health care union.
“A whistleblower hotline is an unnecessary, wasteful use of tax dollars that duplicates existing complaint processes,” said Sandra Seitz, president of CUPE Local 5430. “Health dollars would be better invested in front-line services, like adequate staffing levels, new infrastructure, and equipment.”
The CUPE Local 5430 Executive Board would thank Sister Donna Krawetz for her many years of dedicated service and activism as Vice President of the former
Local 4980 and CUPE Health Care Council and present Region 5 GVP and 5430 Executive Board member.
We wish you all the best and we will miss you Sister! Happy Retirement!
