Now the union and employer are holding meetings this afternoon in an effort to resolve the dispute before seniors care is affected.
AUPE members at Aspen Ridge will be informed of the outcome of these talks in a meeting this evening
Symphony, a privately owned and operated seniors care facility located at 3100 22nd St., has 152 suites with a total of 157 residents.
