HAMILTON:
Home
care
staff
in
the
Hamilton
area
will
conduct
their
own
debrief
of
the
competitive
bidding
process
Thursday.
While
their
employers
are
told
by
the
Community
Care
Access
Centre
why
they
were
knocked
out
of
the
tendering
process
to
supply
home
nursing
care
in
the
region,
their
workers
will
be
down
the
hall
of
the
same
hotel
speaking
about
what
the
process
means
to
them.
The
stories
will
be
recorded
for
a
video
to
be
sent
to
all
Ontario
MPPs
to
draw
their
attention
to
the
human
resources
crisis
that
is
about
to
take
place
in
the
sector.
The
Ontario
Public
Service
Employees
Union
is
asking
the
province
to
place
a
freeze
on
the
awarding
of
new
home
care
contracts
until
employment
protections
are
put
in
place
for
home
care
workers.
