CUPE Seeks Funding For Developmental Services

The Canadian Union of Public Employees says only adequate funding for staffing and programs can resolve a crisis in developmental services.

It delivers that message as CUPE ramps up for new contract talks with more than 50 different agencies across the province.

It says underfunding is most obvious among the 23,000 people on wait lists for services while staff, programs and supports are being reduced.
