Say "NO" to Privatization, Protect Health Care Services

On September 10, 2009, the Royal Inland Hospital security department received a 60 day notice to have security services contracted out. This notice was delivered by John Acorn and Mike Jackson of Interior Health and Labor Relations.
This notice comes a month after the first meeting with management. At that time they stated that privitization was not on their radar and nobody has to worry about their jobs.
Today management explained Interior Health will save a paltry $159 000 from their 60million dollar short fall.  The BC Government is continuing it's crusade to privitize BC's Health Care Services by eliminating the security department.
The Royal Inland Hospital Security Department has over 180 years of enforcement experience including RCMP, BC Corrections, Ministry of Environment and other agencies. We need to take a stand to prevent the continued degradation of health care services through Privitization.
