Local home and community care workers will be paying a visit to the office of Bay of Quinte MPP and Minister of Energy Todd Smith in the noon hour today.
The members of the Canadian Union of Employees Local 4788 Southeast will be delivering a petition protesting a delay in reaching a new contract with the provincial government and many of its members are struggling to pay their bills.
CUPE says it has been without a new contract since legislation capping public sector wages at one per cent was overturned in February.
Union members affected include nurses, personal support workers, physiotherapists, and administrative staff.
