Residents Reject Changes, Support Workers

Recently, in response to concerns about possible changes at Revera’s All Inclusive Rental Retirement Facilities in Saskatchewan, Rent Paying Residents and their families have asked how they can show their displeasure while still supporting the workers as they form a union.

A series of postcards have been produced and distributed to the residents, seen above, suitable for display or to send to Revera’s Corporate Head office in Toronto.

If you have a complaint, an idea for a new postcard, or if you just want to Support the Revera Workers in Saskatchewan as they form a Union - We want to hear from you!

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.

Servers Are The First To Go…

Our sources are telling EyeOnRevera.com that the first round of staff reductions ordered by Revera’s Toronto-based management team are the Servers.

We are also hearing that to make up for the staff shortages the Rent Paying Residents are now going to take their meals at assigned times and at multiple sittings… We wonder how the Rent Paying Residents of Revera now feel about the alleged sudden reduction in service… Or how reductions measure up to Revera’s Pledge.

Revera Inc. Takes Over Management From Caleb In Saskatchewan

In a deal that will the effect the residents and staff of seven all-inclusive retirement rental communities, Toronto based Revera Inc. quietly announced that it is taking over the day-to-day management of its facilities from Saskatoon’s Caleb Group.

The news came in late April 2011 and by the first week of May reports of staff reductions were already beginning to circulate. “The residents are taking it really hard” said a Revera employee who didn’t want to give her name “You get to know these people for a couple of years and they’re like family… Then all of a sudden they tell you you’re gone.”

Three of the former Caleb managed facilities in Saskatchewan are unionized with the Service Employees International Union, SEIU-West, these are The Bentley’s in Regina, Moose Jaw and Swift Current.

“I feel more secure” said one Bentley worker “It should be a smoother transition for us, we have a new Collective Agreement through SEIU-West”
