They are also urging Peterborough area home care clients and front line workers to share their experiences under the competitive bidding model by calling a telephone hotline set up by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) who represent home care workers. {more}
