Fundy Linen Employees Hold Protest Over Possible Job Losses

Fundy Linen employees making some noise over possible job losses -- about 25 of them protesting outside of St. Joseph's hospital because Horizon Health Network wants to use disposable linen instead of reusable ones.

Union president Gisele St. Pierre tells CHSJ News the employees plan to protest once a week at various locations, including city hall.

The provincial health department has the final say but no word yet on date.  Such a change would put 19 people out of work in Saint John.

She says the union is also trying to arrange meetings with the both the Environment and Health minister.
