Laundry deal that will see North Sask jobs lost now inked
The approximately 100 employees at Prince Albert’s North Sask Laundry & Support know their days are numbered, and a new contract gives them more details on who’s taking over.
A news release issued last week said K-Bro Linen and 3sHealth (Health Shared Services Saskatchewan) had signed a 10-year contract.
It outlined a June 2015 finish date for construction on K-Bro’s new laundry facility in Regina, which will centralize all scrubs, linen, bedding, towel and other cleaning services for the province’s hospitals.
Andrew Will, CEO of 3sHealth, points out that, in many ways, the contract confirms details that were shared when the K-Bro takeover was announced in May.
