The union that represents over 60,000 front-line health-care workers is taking more action to protect those working at long-term care facilities hit by COVID-19 outbreaks.
SEIU Healthcare has filed urgent applications with the Ontario Labour Relations Board, saying the province needs to take over three facilities that have been significantly impacted by the novel coronavirus.
That includes Anson Place in Hagersville, Altamont Care Community in Scarborough, and Eatonville Care Centre in Etobicoke. Altamont is owned by Sienna Senior Living, while both Anson Place and Eatonville are privately owned and operated by Ryyka Care Centres.
