Public Healthcare is on the line.

Why are health care workers on strike?

- more than 6000 healthcare workers fired
- hospitals closed, services cut, seniors left without care
- services contracted out to multi-national corporations
- reduced quality of care due to lower standards of cleanliness and food 
service resulting from the high turnover of an underpaid and under trained workforce
- Over 100 pages of concession demands tables by health employers and the B.C. 
Government
