CUPE NL President Sherry Hillier received a personal phone call today from the Minister of Health and Community Services, the Honourable John Haggie, asking her to pass along his gratitude to health care workers for their dedication during the state of emergency.
“CUPE health care workers went above and beyond to make sure that people got the care they needed during and after this monster storm,” says President Hillier. “Some of our members worked more than 60 hours straight, and it is wonderful for them to be recognized by the Minister for their commitment to their work.
“I must say, I am very proud of all of our public sector workers who stepped up to make things better for Newfoundlanders under such challenging circumstances.”
