HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, February 13, 2025—Health care security guards, represented by CUPE 5479 and employed by Paladin Security, are set to gather in front of the Nova Scotia Legislature to support their immigrant colleagues. This demonstration is prompted by the recent de-listing of Paladin Security from the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP), which has adversely impacted many workers who rely on this program for their residency and employment stability.
The security guards aim to raise awareness about the struggles faced by immigrant workers within the health care sector. Many of these individuals have dedicated years of service, providing essential support and safety in health care environments. The picket is not only a call for solidarity among workers but also a demand for fair treatment and inclusion in the province's immigration policies.
The guards hope to draw attention to the critical role that immigrant workers play in the healthcare system and emphasize the need for policies that support and protect them. This rally marks a significant moment in the ongoing conversation about labor rights and immigration in Nova Scotia.
