Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
March 8 is International Women’s Day (IWD). IWD has been observed for more than a century. At times, the recognition was in the form of demonstrations or protests; however, in recent years IWD has become a time to reflect on and celebrate the advancement of women’s rights, from financial autonomy to reproductive rights, access to childcare and the prevention of violence against women.

Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
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.
