The union representing home-care workers in Manitoba has filed a grievance against health authorities alleging a renegotiated contract still hasn’t been implemented after it was agreed to in September.

Improvements in working conditions such as promised increases to shift premiums, vacation scheduling, and coffee breaks for home care workers still haven’t been implemented by the employers, Debbie Boissonneault, President of CUPE 204, stated in a release Monday.

CUPE 204 represents 14,000 health-care support staff in the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and Shared Health.
