helped us all they could in the first few weeks and this is how we learned - from outsiders -but now we're grateful for what they have taught us and we're able to carry on on our own.
How does the occupation work in practice?
Excellent! We have no management, as you know, we are the management, the nursing staff of Thornton View. We feel that we have done a better job, than when we had management in. Our patients couldn't say that they are better looked after, because we always made a point that patient care was the first priority and this we have done in the occupation. In the first week we concentrated on the patients' care and privacy and since then we have just carried on.
Have you had any problems the occupation so far?
No, none at all - we're too well organised.
What support have you had from your union officials?
We have regional NUPE and COHSE officers coming in, and have their phone numbers in case of emergency. We also have branch secretaries, and Women won't wait!
