Response to MUHC Union statements concerning Royal Vic move

In preparation for the MUHC Royal Victoria Hospital move of patients and personnel to the new Glen site on Decarie Blvd., employees from many different sectors (maintenance, food services, transport, logistics, etc.) meet regularly with their managers. In addition, over the past week managers of each of these sectors have spoken to the President of the MUHC CSN Union to take stock of their concerns and the situation at hand.

In reference to the union predicting chaos, since January 2015, 5,500 personnel of the MUHC have received training at the Glen site. The rest of the training will take place over the next three weeks at the Glen as we gradually reduce our activities at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

With any major transformation and change, uncertainty can be naturally expected. We will continue to work with all staff and their representatives in the coming weeks to ensure all concerns are addressed.
