Hospital workers and community allies initially met at the Zehrs on Eramosa Road before they all marched to Guelph General Hospital on Monday.
CUPE Local 57 and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions held a demonstration Monday morning outside of the hospital to protest.“These people who are also involved in the activities of daily living for these patients, like washing them and grooming them, making their beds bring them ice water. These are functions that patients value,” Hurley said.In a statement on Monday, Guelph General Hospital said there was a demonstration taking place near the building’s Emergency Department entrance.
In a press release from the union on Monday, it said the cuts are part of a growing pattern in the sector as hospitals look to address ballooning deficits due to underfunding from the government. In addition to fewer patients dying, Hurley said other benefits include patient mobility increases, rates of incontinence, fewer slips and falls and generally patient satisfaction increases.
