JOHN’S, NL — Canadian Union of Public Employees Newfoundland and Labrador (CUPE NL) is deeply concerned by NL Health’s use of a fake promise for an extra paid leave day during a cybersecurity test when health care workers are already stretched thin and continuously denied their leave requests.Sign In or Create an AccountEmail AddressContinueor View more offersArticle content“While I understand that cybersecurity awareness is important, especially in a healthcare setting, targeting a benefit like paid time off is disgusting,” said CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador President Sherry Hillier. “These workers are tired, burned out, and desperate for time off.

As the employer, NL Health knows that and chose to exploit that feeling anyway.”Article contentWe apologize, but this video has failed to load.Try refreshing your browser, ortap here to see other videos from our team.

Vacation and leave were denied, family time was lost due to the overtime required. While NL Health’s apology was appreciated, I am still unsure how such a massive lapse in judgement occurred in the first place. How does anyone, in good conscience, design a cybersecurity test for their own employees while knowing how much they missed for this new system?”
