Welcome to our New Viewers!
This is EyeOnCaleb, the website that aims to let everyone know that You Still Have The Right to Talk to a Union in Saskatchewan!
This site began just a few months ago when our friend Val was fired from her job at the Caleb Village, an independent living facility, in Kindersley - for talking to a Union.
It seems that she and her remaining co-workers didn’t like that the Caleb Village in Kindersley was reportedly experiencing a 90% Staff Turnover Rate in it’s first year of operation.
Val was one of only two remaining original staff of 25, since the facility opened it doors in 2009.
Val and her co-workers only wanted the same things that the Caleb Workers who are unionized with SEIU-West have, like a stable work environment. “Stability is important to the residents…” Val told us “They like to see the same faces every day, they don’t like it when it’s always new people.”
Since this site has launched we have heard from Caleb Employees from across Canada and now we want to hear from you!
If you work at a Caleb facility, we want to hear your story;

Thank You Eye On Caleb Fans!!!
One lucky reader from Saskatoon, SK became our 2500th Visitor to EyeOnCaleb.com - Give yourselves a round of applause!!!
The EyeOnCaleb Crew want to take a moment to thank each and every one of our visitors and fans for taking the time to stop by and read a bit about Val’s story and the story of all Caleb Group Workers…
Now that we have you here, please take a moment and ask yourself the following;
Why would Caleb pay its non-union Workers lower rates than their Workers who are represented by SEIU-West, for doing the exact same jobs?
Why would Caleb offer less sick leave to their non-union Workers than it does to their Workers who are unionized with SEIU-West?
Why should the Caleb Village Kindersley have such a reportedly high staff turnover rate in its first year of operation?
Why would Caleb fire a worker for exercising her right to talk to a Union?
What can you do to make your Caleb Group Facility a better place?
A stable workforce is the key to satisfied residents.

It is time that we take a moment to stop and thank all of you who have written to us at the EyeOnCaleb Tip Line. Your emails of support are warmly received and we just want to thank you all for writing them. Please know that even though we can’t respond to all your emails, they are very welcome!
The residents are not stupid people and are getting upset at the loss and mistreatment of staff…
We would especially like to thank those Friends who are concerned because they see the similarities in what Val has gone through and what they, their Co-Workers and even the Residents are presently experiencing at their Caleb Group run facility.
…keep pushing for unions elsewhere involving Caleb homes…
We will! But we need you to keep writing those emails and tell us the story of your Caleb Group managed facility or Caleb Village. Long or short, your message is always welcome…
Thanks Again,
The EyeOnCaleb Crew

The Eye On Caleb Crew hits the road again, this time delivering our specially prepared Information Packages to communitiy leaders, the media and concerned citizens groups in Weyburn, Moosomin and Humboldt, SK. All are proposed locations for new Caleb Village extended care facilities. Our Information Packages include a copy of the Kindersley Clarion, with the front page article about Val, background information about the Eye On Caleb campaign and a call to action for civic leaders when they next talk to the Caleb Group. We want everyone to ask the Caleb Group if their town can expect the same level of staff turnover that the Caleb Village Kindersley has experienced.
