All replacements on overtime - so it is NOT okay to work a 12 hour shift with full (rested) staff but it is OK to work 16 hours straight with worn out staff. This is an OH & S nightmare!
Replaced on ot
Another weekend in the kitchen at Shaunavon Hospital & Care Centre...another weekend of working short staffed...next weekend is the same, I hear. A shift of trying to do two people's work, and working 12 hour shifts just to cover are just too much, especially day after day. Folks are so tired they DO NOT WANT any more over time!! Enough already....But the Region could care less about their employees..remember that when they ask for co-operation for their LEAN PROGRAM. Not familiar with LEAN...google it, and find out what is in store for Maple Creek, and us.
