44 SEIU members are on strike at St Joseph’s Motherhouse.

They set up pickets yesterday (Monday) outside the Motherhouse on Main West.

Key issues are wages and contract language around internal hiring.

The Motherhouse is home to 60 elderly and retired Sisters of St Joseph of Sault Ste. Marie.

The employees include Personal Support Workers, dietary, housekeeping and maintenance staff.

Their contract expired last year.
