I just a got a phone call from the HSA Labour Union to remind me that although things are still very uncertain, I must check with my shop steward for any upcoming events that will be affecting my job.
The Liberal government was supposed to unleash it's new approach to Health Care in the province today. There was a lot said but there were no details - making things very shaky and uncertain for a lot of people.

It was a recording that I presume was sent out to everyone in the province because no one in our household works in any way close to the health industry - not even on a contractual basis.

The whole experience was very interesting. The voice sounded like it was of a woman in her early forties. It was a very concerned and strong voice yet very sympathetic and motherly at the same time. It made me feel like we were going to war but that she was going to be standing behind me to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible.

Our union voted on a Community Action Plan last week. There were two meetings. The one in the afternoon had about 200 people in attendance. It was a unanimous vote in favour of a walk-out in solidarity with any other unions being threatened by the government's actions.

In this case, the phone call was pretty important no matter who answered.
