Welcome the Minister of Health, and Remind Her of the NDP’s Promise on Common Standards

Seniors in long-term care deserve the same high-quality standard of care no matter whether they live in a public, non-profit or for-profit care home.

The BC NDP was just re-elected, with lots of help from HEU members. We need to tell the Minister of Health it’s time to deliver on the BC NDP’s promise to force all government-funded care homes including those run by for-profit operators to meet the highest provincial standards of care.

This will help fix the staffing crisis by restoring common standards for better wages, benefits and working conditions, no matter where you work — in a public care home or a private one.

We have written a letter, below. All you have to do is add your name and the letter will be sent automatically to the new Minister of Health, Josie Osborne. Don’t wait! Act now.
