HALIFAX-Long-term care unions will rally outside Nova Scotia Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care Barbara Adams’ constituency office calling on the Houston government to deliver a financial mandate required for collective bargaining to begin.
This protest comes two years after the workers' last contract expired.
“Long-term care workers were hailed as heroes by this very government a few short years ago but now face the disrespect of being sidelined and ignored by Premier Houston and his supermajority government,” said Unifor Atlantic Regional Director Jennifer Murray. “No more delays, no more excuses—we need to see action from Minister Adams and Premier Houston.”
WHERE: Hon. Barbara Adams’ Constituency Office, 1488 Main Road, Eastern Passage
