Employees at Duncan’s Sunridge seniors complex were told this afternoon about 200 will be let go as of March 31, a Health Employees Union official told the News Leader Pictorial.
“It’s a mass firing,” Margi Blamey said.
Her report comes on the heels of Saturday’s HEU certification vote when some 70 per cent of the facility’s employees voted to join the union.

The two-year-old facility receives about $10 million annually from the province.
A 70 percent vote in favour of unionization. That's a large majority and a clear democratically-determined conclusion.
If this privately-run facility wants to fire its staff, fine, if it's for just cause. But getting public funding to reap profits unfairly off the backs of its employees? Not on my dime!
