CUPE spokesperson Vallie Stearns tells CHSJ News 27 workers received notice last week that they will be out of work by December because 3 group homes in the city for the mentally ill are out of funding.
She says while it's tough to see jobs go, the employees are also concerned about the clients and where they will end up.
She says since funding is based on placements and the province has not been making them, they are responsible for the closures.
CUPE is sending a letter to Social Development Minister Sue Stultz to rectify the situation.
