More Patient Transfer Workers Join Machinists!
For Immediate Release
Sarnia, ON – Employees of Voyageur Patient Transfer Services are the latest workers from the health care sector to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
“These people were aware of the growing number of Patient Transfer Workers who have joined the Machinists for better representation, wages and benefits,” said IAMAW District Lodge 78 Organizer Scott Jackson. “There is a great desire by the workers for structure in this industry and that’s one of the big reasons they are turning to us.”
“I can’t say enough about the hard work of apprentice organizer Ralph Martin. He was in constant contact with our new members either by text messaging or through the use of our web site. Communication was a key factor,” added Jackson.
The 15 newest members of IAMAW District Lodge 78 provide non-emergency ambulatory patient transfers in the Lambton County area.
