Regina & Saskatoon – The unions representing information technologists within the Saskatchewan Health Authority are concerned about the recent investigation report released by the Saskatchewan Information & Privacy Commissioner, and the ongoing plan for the SHA to transfer all Information Technology assets (except for digital health) including employees to eHealth.

“To date there have been far too many unanswered questions; now we have discovered through Mr. Kruzeniski’s report that the board and leadership of eHealth is in disarray. We know that this is not the first time that the eHealth Board has been removed by the Sask Party government. A similar removal occurred in 2018. Top leadership of the organization also has been changed by the MoS. For the protection of our members and for the security of private health information for all in Saskatchewan, we believe that the pattern of chaos needs to be curbed and an identifiable period of stability established prior to any contemplation of the need for the move of valuable IT services out of the control of our provincial health authority. Trust badly needs to be restored.” says Barbara Cape, President of SEIU-West.

We have been receiving a lot of calls from our members about going to help at Parkside Extendicare. This for-profit long-term care facility is experiencing a serious outbreak of COVID-19 that has seen well over one hundred residents test positive. In addition to this, many of their staff have tested positive or are off self-isolating due to exposure.

As you may know, this is not a Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) facility, nor is it an affiliate through the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations (SAHO). As such, there is not a mechanism to move our members there through the collective agreement nor through the temporary letter of understanding on redeployment, labour pools, and cohorting.

The CUPE Local 5430 Executive Board, Regional Officers and Membership, would like to thank Sister Pearl Blommaert and Brother Jim Carr for their many years of activism.

We wish you both, a Happy and Healthy Retirement.

We are reaching out to you to express our concern that not enough is being done by the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Health Authority as the numbers of positive cases of COVID-19 skyrocket across the province.

We have issued a press release calling on the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the government to do more. We cannot continue to work short and without the resources we need. We also have written to Scott Livingstone, CEO of the Saskatchewan Health Authority, calling for adequate staffing and appropriate PPE practices as per the principles agreed to by the health care unions and the government back in May.

Dear Mr. Livingstone:

I write today on behalf of the 14,000 CUPE health care providers who are members of CUPE Local 5430.

Working conditions in Saskatchewan health care facilities are at a breaking point. Cases of COVID-19 across the province are rising, and infections and exposures of health care providers are making a short staffing situation even worse.

In facilities where there are outbreaks, staffing should be enhanced. Caring for patients or residents on isolation is much different than caring for patients and residents who are not. The donning and doffing of PPE, increased cleaning protocols, meeting mental health and social needs of isolated patients and residents, and in room dining are just a few examples of the extra burden that is felt by health care providers. This is not happening.
