CUPE Local 1792 and the City of Cornwall are offering conflicting accounts about staffing at Glen Stor Dun Lodge. The union says the employer intends to proceed with job cuts and a line-bidding process beginning November 5, while the City maintains there are currently no job reductions happening and that hiring continues. To let readers compare both positions directly, the full texts of each statement are reproduced below exactly as provided.
Statement from CUPE Local 1792 on October 19: We have an update from the Employer that came out last evening without transparency to the union. The Employer, City of Cornwall, is planning on proceeding with the jobs cuts and line bidding process despite our latest efforts to speak with them. We have had radio silence from the Employer for weeks now and they have not been willing to talk with us. The Employers plan is to start this process on November 5th. We need your voices more now than ever. Please help us continue this fight to ensure our Residents have safe and quality care.
Statement from the Corporation of the City of Cornwall (“City”) in reply on October 20: We would like to provide clarification regarding recent conversations about employment at Glen Stor Dun Lodge. We want to confirm that there are currently no job reductions happening at Glen Stor Dun Lodge. Any reports suggesting otherwise may have led to some misunderstandings and concern among the community, residents, and their families. Residents will continue to receive quality care, above the provincially mandated 4 hours of direct care. The City of Cornwall continues to hire at the Glen Stor Dun Lodge and job postings can be found on cornwall.ca We will continue to prioritize safe and high-quality care for all residents, and we welcome open, constructive discussion with CUPE 1792 as we move forward together.
In conclusion, these two statements directly contradict each other on whether staffing reductions are occurring or imminent at Glen Stor Dun Lodge.
