In an overwhelming display of support for one another, the Workers of the Marian Chateau, a Revera Retirement Residence in Regina,SK came together and voted for SEIU-West to represent them as their Union.
“Last minute curve-ball…”
“It was 30 minutes before the vote when management threw that last minute curve-ball and announced their June schedule… with lay-off, hour cuts and job descriptions changes…” said SEIU-West Organizing Director Sean Senechal “I can’t help but feel that Revera Management’s action helped confirm why the workers of Marian Chateau wanted SEIU to represent them in the first place… winning this vote isn’t just a victory, it is a statement of how much these Workers have come together during this campaign. This victory shows everyone at Revera just how important the Union is to Marian Chateau.”
During the campaign the workers of Marian Chateau discovered that they were not alone, they discovered the strength they had when they began to share their stories. They discovered that a problem for one was a problem for all… Together the Workers of Marian Chateau;

What Is Reveralicious?
As Toronto based Revera Inc. takes over management of it’s seven Saskatchewan locations from the Caleb Group, their national website is promoting it’s new campaign “Reveralicious”. “A celebration of delicious food prepared fresh by our chefs.”
Meanwhile sources tell EyeOnCaleb that residents are allegedly becoming unhappy with changes in food quality, menu choices and the change to packaged foods from fresh.
We hear that some residents are now taking pictures of their meals, we encourage anyone who wants to share their photos and comments on changes to food quality at Revera’s All-Inclusive Rental Retirement Residences to share them with us.
