CUPE Local 5167 – Lodges Unit Campaign (2018 – 2021):

Be Mindful – Take Your Break

Kicked off at the Lodges in March 2018.

THE CAMPAIGN HAS COME TO AN END September 2021.

The campaign focused on people taking their break and being mindful of self-care.

Still lots of good information!

Taking Breaks

It is common for people working in health care to take care of everyone around them but forgetting to be mindful of them-selves.

A common response is ‘I can’t take my break, I don’t have time’; we encourage members to talk to Sue Lavallee (Lodges VP) or a Union Steward and complete a workload form to identify these issues to management.
