Good riddance to predatory cash-for-blood corporation, criminal investigation needed

August 17, 2026

Saskatchewan’s largest union welcomes the news that Grifols will no longer be operating for-profit plasma collection clinics in Canada and is calling for a criminal investigation. CUPE Saskatchewan has long opposed these operations and has called on the provincial government to ban paid plasma for years.
