Extendicare Transition Update: February 29, 2024

In early December, the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board (the LRB) issued a decision about the five former Extendicare facilities. The decision was based on an interpretation of the regulations that governed a previous restructuring of the healthcare system in 1997, commonly called the ‘Dorsey regulations’. In that decision, the Saskatoon and Moose Jaw facilities remain within the SEIU-West family. However, the 3 Regina-based facilities were moved, without a vote of the membership, into the CUPE 5430 jurisdiction.

Saskatchewan Labour Board Decision: Former Extendicare Regina Facilities

Following the November 30 decision of the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board (LRB) with respect to the successorship of the former Extendicare Regina facilities, SEIU-West held meetings at Elmview, Parkside, and Sunset Special Care Homes to explain the recent decision to move workers from SEIU-West to CUPE.
