Message from Darrin Cook, President CUPE 4270

To all CUPE Local 4270 members.

You are the front-line heroes, fighting COVID-19 in our community, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

To all the Homecare workers, the Health Care Aides, Laundry workers, Housekeeping workers, Recreation workers, Maintenance and Engineer Staff, Clerical Workers, Health Information, Mental Health Workers, Dietary Aides, Cooks, Porters, Receptionists, Material Management, Material Device Reprocessing and Ward Clerks. Thank you.

Thank you for all that you do for your clients and patients. Thank you for looking after your communities.

You go into a work area that most are staying home to avoid. You are caring for us, while potentially putting yourself and your families at risk. We know you would like to be safe at home but we know you care about others and know the importance of each of your jobs at a time like this.

Many are thanking the Doctors and Nurses. We too wish to thank them, but please know when people thank a Nurse, they do mean all of the Healthcare Team.

Rest assured that your CUPE 4270 team is doing everything possible to protect our members. Do not hesitate to contact any of us. We are here with you, for you.

Thank you, your all awesome.

Darrin Cook
