Tuesday was not an ordinary day for at least one city councillor in Windsor.
Ward 3's Rino Bortolin says he received plenty of calls and emails from residents about council's decision to outsource janitorial jobs at Huron Lodge long term care facility.
He says residents expressed their disappointment but also thanked him for the way he voted.
Bortolin says residents aren't happy.
"I think each issue is different and I really think this one was different," says Bortolin. "I really think that it triggered a different response because we were dealing with our elderly population in something like a long term care home."
On Monday, Windsor city council voted 6-5 in favour of outsourcing the jobs. The change affects 16 full-time and 19 part-time workers resulting in an annual savings of $605,000.
The city will spend $1.9-million to transition the 16 full-timers to other jobs meaning the savings won't be realized until 2020.
