Saskatchewan health strike sparks worry over SEIU action
In Saskatchewan the CUPE walkout has left the Southwest Health District largely unaffected but ready to help neighbours. With SEIU negotiations unsettled and 10 000 workers in the union, district leaders fear a joint strike could cripple staffing, threatening patient care in Leader Maple Creek and Shaunavon. Alberta peers monitor potential spread and plan for possible aid.
