About 160 health-care workers at Ten Ten Sinclair Housing have set a strike date for early March.

Workers at the independent living site will go on strike March 6 unless “fair wages” are offered to front-line staff members, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said in a news release.

Ten Ten Sinclair Inc. is a non-profit organization that receives funding from the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.

CUPE locals 4376 and 2348 are preparing for strike action and are planning information pickets outside the main facility at 1010 Sinclair Ave. in the coming weeks.

“These workers provide front-line health care to persons living with disabilities, with mental health challenges, and others in our community who need the support, and they deserve to be treated fairly, ” CUPE Manitoba president Gina McKay said in a news release.
