Healthcare workers at the Eston Healthcare Facility, represented by SEIU-West, held an information picket to raise awareness of their ongoing struggle for a fair collective agreement. These workers, including licensed practical nurses, continuing care aides, dietary, maintenance, and environmental services staff, have been without a contract for 19 months. The prolonged negotiations are a result of the essential services legislation, which prevents healthcare workers from striking, causing delays in resolving their bargaining disputes.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resisted calls for his resignation for more than a year now but in recent weeks those calls have grown louder and in some cases more public.

The Liberal caucus meets Wednesday and Trudeau is expected to be confronted by a group of MPs who have banded together to try and finally convince him to go.

That promises to make the regular weekly caucus meeting on Parliament Hill extra tense, as Trudeau has showed no signs of stepping down from the top job.
