Just a quick F.Y.I. to our Members,

To all our members who provide Personal Care (i.e. toileting), or perform other Medical Procedures (i.e. catheterization) while in our K-12 settings, this is the exact work that our front-line health care providers do and your Union believes you should be afforded the same access to equipment that nurses are privy to, which is any piece of personal protective equipment that you feel is necessary for you to perform such duties safely.

For all those First Aid Attendants in our membership one of the first things you are taught when providing first aid is to assess the scene, by asking yourself the question, “Is it safe?”, if the answer is “NO”, call 911!

In Solidarity,

CUPE 411 Executive
