On April 23rd, the Atlantic RP Jeff Wilkins, VP Olivia Tynes, and CSN advisor Sheryl Ferguson met with Trevor Holder, the minister responsible for education and labour in New Brunswick.
The purpose of this meeting was to once again push on the government to include Correctional Officers under the current workers’ compensation legislation with regard to presumptive coverage for PTSD.
Mr. Holder understood all of our concerns and committed to analyze this legislation in other jurisdictions as well as include UCCO-SACC-CSN in a future meeting with the board of Worksafe NB.
