Welcome to the Manitoba Nurses' Union - Worksite 97!

Give a warm welcome to the newest members of Worksite 97 the Infection Control Nurses, Data Collectors, and the Occupational Health Nurses.

Dear Members

As you may know many of you Home Care nurses have brought forward several concerns regarding the Delegated Tasks Program. We your Worksite have heard your concerns and have brought them forward to the Nursing Advisory Committee. As a result of it being brought forward to NAC, there have been several discussions with the employer, the Delegated Task Program Directors, the CRNM, and the CLPNM and Provincial MNU.

As a result of these meetings it was decided that further discussion needs to be had by all parties involved in order to come to a resolution that benefits patient and nurse safety. In an effort to have as much knowledge as possible we the Worksite are asking you to provide your concerns, issues and stories to us. You can send your issues forward via the website on the contact us page, you can email the President directly at marcyalocal97@mts.net, or you can contact your respective College and tell them. The Colleges are not looking to use this information against us nurses but rather as a tool to address our concerns. Although we encourage everyone to come forward and be heard we recognize not all nurses want to share their name so in an effort to appease everyone anonymity will be provided to those that provide their concerns to the Worksite should it be requested for any concerns or issues that are brought forward.

This is an opportunity for all of us Home Care nurses to stand up and be heard, and address our concerns for not only our patient's safety but also our ability to continue to perform our duties of our profession to the highest and safest standard possible.

If you have any questions or concerns speak to one of your area reps or contact the President.

In Solidarity
Marcya Williamson
President Worksite 97
