Care home jobs contracted out

Days before Remembrance Day, more than 90 health care workers at a veterans’ care facility in Burnaby are being handed pink slips.

The Hospital Employees Union is reporting long-term staff at the George Derby Centre will be displaced by the end of April, because their jobs are being contracted out.

Services affected include food and nutrition, housekeeping, laundry and clerical duties.

Union leaders say some employees have been with the centre more than 20 years.
