Ad from South West Booster, March 2011

In the recent edition of the South West Booster is the announcement of Information meetings to be held regarding Care Aide Careers.  

So they have finally discovered that they are short of Special Care Aides and Home Care Aides.  

Well, well. My question is whether they now realize why they are suffering from critical retention issues?  

Perhaps someone should remind them: the course is very expensive, it is not readily available in all communities, the work is physically laborious, compensation is well better in Alberta, particularly when you look at the hours of work (since forced changes) as these are undesirable and the seasoned staff are real tired of having no voice in the workplace. 

I am thinking management, SAHO and this government having been standing with the door open for quite some time.
