Important Information for Members re: Long Term Care Bargaining Impasse

CUPE Nova Scotia invites members from across the province to stand in solidarity with our long term care comrades, sisters and brothers! Time and again, Tim Houston‘s Progressive Conservative government has shown little interest in good faith bargaining with the workers who care for our most vulnerable. This disrespect is to blame for the current impasse, and it’s why we’re bringing our message directly to them at the legislature on February 23rd! See the PDF documents below for more details on how to attend, as well as important information about conciliation and strike preparation. We’ve also included a useful strike FAQ!
